Almost as well as my Brit and my Irish. :/

someone was lying razz as there is no such thing as a british accent XD  

[Articx-Frost]

What most people in America call the british accent (like Austin Powers) is the English accent. Britain consists of Scotland, Englan, Wales and N. Ireland. Each has a different accent, so no 'British' accent.

This is excellent

You've said that before, now you have to explain it, oh Ye Who Actually Lives Over There.

Well what Articx said, but it's worse than that razz
London has a distinctive accent that you dont get on other parts of the country, in fact east London has a different accent from west/north/south London. Then you have north England, has a different accent from Yorkshire and places XD.
West of Scotland has a different accent from the east of Scotland. Even in the west of Scotland, Glasgow (an hour from me on the train) has a different accent from Kilmarnock where I live, LOL Kilmarnock even has a different accent from Girvin, another town, that's like 20 mins away by car.

Kinda the same as saying "I love the American accent" But what one? A Boston accent? Or a Texan accent? Maybe a New York accent razz

Britain's the same XD But more condensed

Ohhhhhh, I get it!

Heh, I love having to explain to people that the region I live in, Tidewater, has a unique accent officially recognized by linguists. It's basically where your Southern and Northern accents start to merge and cancel out, and then the African American vernacular gets tossed in for good measure. It's a ridiculous description, no?

LOL! That's weird.
My accent sounds like Billy Connolly, but rougher xD

Dont forget, class affects accents too. And then theres the people who get speech therapy and end up with the BBC english accent.

or those of us that grew up on PBS, via Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, Alphabet People, and the like. We have a Middle-America dialect regardless of where we come from.

Just a quick note to you all, some impressive applicants have been filtering in lately, so the place is livening up a bit. I have been on vacation in Florida for a week or so (9 days), and am in transit back to my home. Personal activity should pick up again soon. My silence has not been due to lack of interest . . . just crappy access at my temporary domicile. stare
