no offense, this brings back bad memories for me...haha. I had to do a report on Robert Burns and do you know how hard it is for someone who is used to american english to read and understand scottish dialect! I was able to get it... but it just took longer, haha.

"Wee , sleekit, cowrin, timorous beastie, O, what a panic’s in thy breastie! Thou need na start awa sae hasty, Wi’ bickering brattle! I wad be laith to rin an’ chase thee, Wi’ murdering pattle! I’m truly sorry man’s dominion Has broken Nature’s social union, An’ justifies that ill opinion Which makes thee startle At me, thy poor, earth-born companion, An’ fellow mortal! "

You only have an accent if there there is someone around with a different one because otherwise nobody notices it.

Truth. More specifically, it originated in Leicester. So we are the absolute standard by which all accents are judged :-P And rightly so.

As far as I know none of you have accents because when I read your posts it comes out just like I would say it. :)

My dilemma is that I don't really have one. I was born and raised in New
Zealand so I should have a Kiwi accent like Jen, but my parents are both
from elsewhere (Bermuda & Canada) so I never developed  a Kiwi one. I
only notice a slight 'Kiwiness' about it when listening to recordings of my
voice like on an answering machine. Having a proper accent would be  8)
