Shin Ra	Posted - 2006.04.19 00:46:00 - [1] Well, I've been told I sound like I'm: American Icelandic Dutch Australian Sweedish Danish Canadian I am in fact from Scotland. I was born here and am living here right now. What the hell is up with that? How does one pick up an accent? I assumed it was from your parents (both mine are Scottish). Seems a bit odd that so many people think I'm American. I did live there for a year or so, but I would have thought that living in Scotland 90% of my life would have given me a Scottish accent, at least a little. It doesn't matter where its on TS, on the phone or face to face. Nobody thinks I sound Scottish, or even English. So the real question is: What is more sexy, a Scottish accent or my current "melting pot" accent?

ParMizaN	Posted - 2006.04.19 09:16:00 - [17] I got told i sounded like somebodies 40 year old dad ;s Never had accent problems though, N.irish accent is pretty easy to recognise Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful
Drizit	Posted - 2006.04.19 10:20:00 - [18] I'm English but I spent so much time in the Far East that I picked up a lot of American words and phrases as well as learning to speak more precisely to make myself understood. Although my accent is English, the American words I often use really confuses people. What's more confusing is people who try to pick up on the regional accent. Mine is a kind of posh South London (sawf lunden) accent although I actually come from East Kent. --
Lluthiunne Atalaron	Posted - 2006.04.19 10:41:00 - [19] :) Nothing commands respect more than a good strong scottish accent. Plus the ladies like it. >> The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell and a hell of heaven <<

So, if my maths is correct, you lived in america for a year or so and scotland for 90% of your life... that makes you 10 years old? that explains alot.. Just kidding Edit: Typo http://triad.eve-killboard.net/

Arthalion Thoidon	Posted - 2006.04.19 14:58:00 - [29] Originally by: Sentani the weirdest accent ive heard yet is french-alabama... it cant even imitate it WTF, French-Alabama? Do we even want to hear that? I actually wonder what kind of accent I've got( no TS so you can't hear it), as long as it not Dutch( or any accent form the European mainland really) it's not to bad, I just hate a Dutch accent in English and I'm Dutch myself.
sheppeh	Posted - 2006.04.19 15:05:00 - [30] Well no one can understand what I say ps; Im scottish.
Dalieus Dakarn	Posted - 2006.04.19 15:47:00 - [31] I've had people off the street ask me if I'm Canadian. I've never even been there before. My accents come from: English - Family Friend I grew up around German- Lived there for 4 years California/West Coast/Hawaii Dude talk - Lived there Southern - live there (ugh.. wanna move.) You wanna talk about "melting pot?" I'm it. Thankfully, nobody on TS has ever asked me about it. I'm good at picking out accents though. I tease a Scottish customer I have about being Australian. lol. Poor guy. You can TELL he's from Glasgow, but people ask him where in Australia he's from. Every once in a while, I tease him, asking if he's going back home to New Zealand.

Drilla	Posted - 2006.04.20 17:01:00 - [43] A college teacher in english, from California but on vacation here in Copenhagen, asked me the other day how long I had lived in the US or Canada. Never even been there, I just watch alot of TV were my response :) Last vacation I almost got into trouble because some locals thught I was american :D Seek not to bar my way, for I shall win through - no matter the cost!
Beringe	Posted - 2006.04.20 17:03:00 - [44] I'm Icelandic, studying in the US at the moment. I'm told that I sound English, both by vocabulary and emphasis. In fact, I definitely sound more Scandinavian than English, but my "careful voice" has strong elements of British english in it, because of the way I learned to speak. Therefore, I have to say that "melting pot" accents = 4tw. ------------------------------------------- "Never underestimate the power of language." --Daitan Beringe, honorary director in charge of bottles--

Galaxion	Posted - 2006.04.20 22:06:00 - [47] meh, you all need to bow down to the b*****d child of the greatest accent in the world (the greatest being the irish accent) - the Northern Irish accent. It's a curse WHY CAN'T I SOUND NORMAL!!!
Ebedar	Posted - 2006.04.20 22:12:00 - [48] Heh, I remember being repeatedly asked to repeat what I had said on Vent for a while. Still happens sometimes; I have a tendency to slip into my Leeds accent which not a lot of people get (especially non-native speakers, which is understandable). According to some of my mates from my time at Uni, they couldn't understand what I was saying for the first 3 months we were studying together :P ~ Intel for sale The Dominix: A Documentary Mindset

Drizit	Posted - 2006.04.21 23:12:00 - [52] Originally by: Galaxion meh, you all need to bow down to the b*****d child of the greatest accent in the world (the greatest being the irish accent) - the Northern Irish accent. It's a curse WHY CAN'T I SOUND NORMAL!!! The problem I have with the Irish is that they talk at 90 miles an hour. I always thought the saying was that the Scottish were penny pinchers but I think the Irish learned to talk like that to keep phone call costs low. It would be easier to understand an Irishman if they slowed it down a bit. Personally, I like the Welsh accent, a sing-song accent I could listen to all day. Failing that, my ex-wife is from Dundee and I went up there to visit her relatives, it's a nice smooth accent not like the stoccato Glasgow accent. The trouble I had with Scottish is not the accent, which I could understand easily, it was the way they said things. Like "going for the messages" = Going shopping. It's really confusing --
