Everyone has a favorite accent that they like. Whats yours?

 

Mine is Irish

 

I could listen to an Irish woman talk all day

 

Scottish then Irish 

And I'll bet ... you would still get tired of the woman for talking ALL day

If a woman is yelling at you and belittling you, it seems more natural if she has an Irish or Scottish accent.

Or an American one if she's been in the US since '66

One of my oldest friends moved to Australia ~30 years ago. We talk on occasion on VOIP. His accent isn’t full on “Crocodile Dundee” but you’d never think he was ever an American. It’s kinda funny when he uses words I hadn’t heard in that context. Been a while. I should call him.

I worked in California with a woman from  Hamilton and di my accent. She  said it was good.  I learned it from  watching Toromnto TV with the rotating antenna back in the 70s.

I encounter accents from around the world where I work. Accents from India, Russia, China, the middle east and Spanish. Funny thing is, everyone speaks English...even amongst themselves! Americanization on display!

i highly doubt that in private people are speaking English if it's their 3rd language

Before I moved to Texas, I loved the southern accent. Now it's whatever to me. My wife was born and raised in Texas, both of her parents had pretty strong southern accents, but she fought against it growing up and doesn't really have one.
