Do you have an accent?
« on: April 01, 2004, 07:36:42 pm »
I dont really think I have an accent but people can't really understand what I say because growing up I had a very bad lisp, so now I say things weird. :?

Oh well, but just wanted to know if anyone had difficulties talking like I do...or has an accent!

:D

Yeah, people like me - We don't have accents (look at the triangle, look at the triangle); however, people like CHRISTINE have accents soooo much . . . You can't believe it.

everyone has an accent... it's just the way you speak. Even though you may think you have no accent cause how you speak is normal to you, someone else who speaks another way thinks you have an accent cause they're not used to the way you speak.

See?! Joey knows what I'm talking about. And Holly, EVERYONE who wants to cover up the fact that they have an accent says exactly what you said. Ask Andrew! Neutral. None, up in here. It was in the paper, so next time you get a call from someone with the area code being 502, it may not be me. It's rather a telemarketer with neutral accent in Louisville.

Tia! I am disgraced that as your self proclaimed status as a 'mini mod' you have not seen the discussion that me, Bee and Emily had in some other random thread about this exact same topic.

me too Tia!!! like when i'm around people with Brittish accents... i pick it up. all the time. my mom's like that too. but normally i have kind of a light Hispanic accent...because i live in an area where the population is 80 percent Hispanic and everyone has an accent. besides i AM like a quarter Hispanic...

Things are going crazy and I'm not sure who to blame...
