American English/English English

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

i speak and write English English although watching all those american soaps does have me saying trash instead of rubbish sometimes and leaves me cringing.

although you can always find me throwing some local dialect in too for good measure theres nothing better than confusing people with some odd geordie words now and again.

I speak English English and pronounce 'mall' as 'shopping centre'.

In my lame attempt to be cool, I occasionaly have a stab at saying 'y'all', but then people tend to laugh at me.

I love English English! I've been told i can fake a pretty good English accent...by an English person that i fooled and said I was from London. LOL.

Mostly I speak American English, but because I spent parts of my childhood in the UK, France, and Japan, I have a weird mix. I was born in the Southwest US, (viva Santa fe!!!). Usually, if I mention SW, people automatically think, Texas! but, not only in accent, but loudness, we do not sound like Texans. (No offence to the nice Texans, I know there are some out there. But most of the tourists from Texas we get here, are so loud, you just want to get away from them).

We nice Texans like to scatter around the tourist brochures so we can get a break from those folks, the ones my grandmother calls "rough as a cob"

I love the way Texans speak! It's so loud and funny. Texas is basically it's own separate country, and you can tell because Texas accents are much different than other Southern accents

I speak (which I hardly ever do) and write English English, although sometimes I accidentally throw in an American English pronunciation.

For me, it's a long story. I get asked all the time where my accent is from. I was born and raised in West Virginia, where it is southern American with a good sprinkling of archaic English English words and expressions. But I was the perfect age, 13, when Beatlemania arrived, so for two of my teen years, I spoke with my own approximation of a Liverpudlian accent. Later I moved to NYC and spent 20 years there, more or less, adding bits of yiddish, brooklyn, and bronx. The "less" (of the more or less) was two years spent in Krakow, Poland, where I adjusted some of my pronunciations and arrangements of words in sentences to be better understood by Poles. Then back to NYC a bit, and now a year and a half in the UK where I swear I will never ever learn to call a fillet steak a FILLette.

I speak English English and I used to be all 'wotevar' and pronounce t's but now I sometimes dont. So I think my accents changed, but people still think I sound 'posh', for some reason. I say american things like 'totally' and 'like', but I want to stop
