i live in the south, but really don't have a southern accent. i say y'all (rarely, ie: "Y'all suck", but more often "you guys suck")

i can't really think of anything else, i call stuff different than what other people call it, like alot of people down here say "winduh" instead of "window"

Everyone in California:
Hella - Any (and often every) word in a sentence

I live in the midwest, which is pretty much considered the neutral in the english language, "accentless" if you will.

In southern callifornia, the local population does not end their words in "er" but shortens it and adds an "a". and we tend to cuss and use the "N" word a lot. and its not ask, but "axe". "Cuh" or "Cuz" is like saying "Dude" or "Man". You dont say "Holmes" to the black people, and The "N" word to the Latinos. You dunt say the number 2 in front of the insanes, and 3 in front of the 20's (so math class is hell), if you defy the rules listed above, you are considered "The White Boy"

-That would be the West Long Beach Dialect.

Theres no such thing of having no accent.

I have a basic accent, sometimes I slip in a little british accent on accident cause I'm around british people a lot cause of my family, but mostly i have a common found accent in a lot of parts of america.

I'm from New England and I live near Boston so I'm supposed to talk like a Bostonian.
Ca - Car
Pak - Park
Dak - Dark

I live a few 10 miles away from Boston though so I don't do that much.
One thing that pisses me off is when someone says they hafta get 'pop'. I always yell at them and call it soda =P

Hye, I don't talk like that and I live up north. But yea people from Fargo have pretty goofy accents (But their cool).

Grave · Post by **Grave** » Mon May 08, 2006 5:01 pm

No, only small areas of Canada. I have only ever heard one Canadian say "aboot", and considering I grew up in Edmonton, that kinda says a lot.
