yes, everyone does, but we're all so xenophobic and self centered that we think it's everyone else who has the accent and not us.

I use y'all to precede motherfuckers a lot.

For some reason (quite probably as I'd just smoked a joint) I became quite self-conscious that I sounded like Hugh Grant or that English guy who was in 24 when we were playing LBP the other day. I like to think I just have a non-region-specific English accent.

you didn't remind me of any english actors I know, but I wasn't looking for comparisons either.

Oh, coo.

I tend to find that people with really strong regional accents are invariably stupid.
For example, in all the times I was in hospital in London, I never encountered one neuro-surgeon, or medical professional of any sort with a cockney accent. It would've scared me if I did.

y'all is such an integral part of the vocabulary around these parts, I say the word but with no accent because I don't have an accent, if that's possible

but as far as accents go, bear grylls has the coolest accent going

Even I say y'all. I also like to punctuaute sentences by putting "Bitch" at the end, which seems to be a predominantly Afro-American thang.

Since I've lived on the west coast my whole life, I don't notice or have anyone point out that I talk funny.

One thing I do know was that when I was living in northern CA, I had to make sure I said "soda" instead of "pop".

I wonder if I'll ever go to America in my life. As I've seen so much of it throughout my life in beloved movies and TV shows, I kind of think it'd be like meeting one of your, for want of a better word, heroes (all of mine are dead - it's the best way to avoid disappointment) and inevitably finding out that they suck. Then again, England sucks, but it's a kind of suckage I'm very used to. At least I still don't live in Ireland.

The occassional ESL accent pops up.
I say cookie as kooky, slur, and stutter on certain words.
