Nah, only joking :P
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... :rolleyes: 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.

I don't have an accent.
i have a surrey accent, which is very 'correct' - except i don't say 'th' sounds and i mumble and grumble, a bit like Peter Falk
what about a ----when im pissed/drunk accent :D
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.Quote:

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