You're from Bradford?

Nah, only joking

I think in effect the UK is unique in that you won't experience so many accents in such a small area. I mean not that far from here you have a Manc accent (though pretty indistinctable to the untrained ear), you've got the Geordies further east, you have Birmingham down to the south and nearby to the north Preston & Blackpool.

Then you have the Scots, the Welsh, the Irish... I've let a non-English Brit sort them out

I live in Washington DC, USA

Sometimes I have a slangish accent

instead of everybody
it's ery bai
instead of motherfucker
it's muh fucker
That's just when I'm with my friends out and about but since I work in corporate America and you leave that hood shit at home

I was born up in rural Aberdeenshire and raised in the Islands (Orkney) and Highlands (Oban). My colleagues, in their more genial moments, call me a Teuchter - which I can live with.

I have a relatively soft lilt compared to my erstwhile city dwelling compatriots.

The accent thing in the UK is amazing - changes wildly from town to town. Once had a girl from Wolverhampton work for me. She was absolutely stunning and had an accent that could cut metal from 50 yards. I was torn between enjoying the radiance of her physical appearance and sunny personality and a desperate desire to wear ear defenders.

Glaswegian, born and bred. 76 years man and boy.

I don't believe I have a strong accent naturally. Tho' I can do it if I want.

Can you immitate a North American accent? Would it be easy or hard to do. Also, can you do Brooklin and "Southern" accents? Benny Hill did that pretty good.

Oh, and can you do "ebonics"? Or is that exactly the same in London? "The universal English Language".
