rb this and tell me what ur accent is. this has no purpose except the fact i just realized i could have like... mutuals with cockney accents or newfoundland accents or something and thats just wild
highlights of the responses:
the solid hundred americans saying "idk general american". i dont know what that is so im gonna pretend you mean "I sound like a disney channel character"
shoutout to whoever said "gay". also whoever said "autism".
to those curious; 'newfoundland' accents are what everyone i know says to refer to the stereotypical "canadian accent" that bad american TV has, 'cause you're basically only gonna hear that in a random fishing town on the Maritimes' coast.
the fact that almost every french person called their accent sexy
all my fellow canadians who are saying "canadian but i dONT SOUND NEWFIE" like yes babe we are not all One Single Fishing Town Accent (no hate to the newfies tho ily)
the one who said "i sound like siri. i have no accent" meanwhile siri is So Fucking Accented to my ears
the amount of people with english as a second language in the notes who now love their accents <3 that's great, love urself
everyone going "i'm TOLD i sound british. please not that"
the one person who described their accent instead of just saying a word. they happened to be canadian and i was like "you just. absolutely and totally described how i talk"
the amount of californians going "californian but i dONT SOUND SURFER OR VALLEY GIRL" like the US version of "im not newfie"
the one single californian who was like "yeah i sound surfer. what are u gonna do about it"
MY TIME HAS COME
I'm Italian but that has absolutely no effect on my accent for some reason, I was only taught British english for 11 years of my life but I learnt the majority of the words that I use in an actual conversation from American TV series or my American friend, then I got influenced by some Scots youtubers I started to follow and some Australian singers because I unconsciously assimilate and reproduce every accent I'm exposed to for a long period of time.
So yeah what do I sound like? HELL IF I KNOW IT'S THE TERRORDOME IN HERE
And don't even get me started with slang, I am not able to use one, I get everything confused or don't realise that I'm talking slang. Like once I actually said "Leg it dawg the blue heelers are coming" and everybody blankly stared at me in confusion
