You forgot Australian in your poll.
And mine is American, especially the North-East one.

I so would have voted for Australian. I love their accents.  :oops:

This is a unique poll. The Canadian accent isn't especially prominent, is it? Tell me if I'm wrong. But if I had to choose, Australian.

And don't go saying that people in Kentucky have Southern accents cause that's stereotypical and better left for people further towards the border!
Why don't you come on over? Stop making a fool out of me.

I would have chosen the Australian accent, but I chose the American accent because it's (where I am) correct.

Wouldn't the English accent be the correct accent?

Wasn't there a REAAAALLY long thread discussing this a while back?
There is a correct pronunciation, check the dictionary. And the Midwest/Ohio area is a generally correct accent, minus a few words (Washington is sometimes pronounced "Warshington", uggh).

Cincinnati's not bad, I guess, but I almost can't listen to someone from Cleveland without wanting to order sausage from them.  A big problem I have with most people in that region is that they tend to silence W's and L's after certain vowels, making it difficult to distiguish some words.

True. But I suppose the poll means American in general, even though a Southern accent would be quite different from a Californian one.

It would be interesting to see which accent people in general (esp. those from other countries) feel is the "American" accent, lol.

Or maybe that just interests me because I'm a dork.  :oops:
