For some reason, I speak normal English outside. But when at home and with family, I turn on this Indian accent English.

It's a bizarre phenomenon, I must say...

What kind of Indian? The dot or the feather kind?

Neph, where do you live in the U.K.? We can guess from your locale.

Guys, I speak normally. I don't have an accent!

Yes, you do.

L2, clearly you should know that I am of the dot, aka actual Indians, the ones they were trying to find.

Well I was born in London and raised there till I was ten. Then I moved to Somerset and stayed there until I went to university. And now I live in Cormwall.

So do I have a London accent or a Somerset one?

What's your team in the Premiership?

I don't like football.

How about Andy Murray? You like Andy Murray?

Who?

LOL!

I guess that rules out football and tennis (which are my two sports >.<😉

I have finally encountered a more deluded, biased group than Antediluvians themselves.

😐

Oooooh, who?

(Did Quan breed?)

Worse.

He's got a sense of humor, at least.

Is it me?

I'm imagining then that you sound a bit like 4:38, the quintessential Fable accent, and 5:26...

You and these individuals have a certain similarity in that you both overreact when you feel that something slights the object of your biases, but you are nothing to them.

No, I speak relatively formally and enunciate quite clearly. Like an upper class accent without the accent.

Edit: Gid. Link, now!

When you say you don't have an accent, I guess you think you have an American accent?

Were I live we have an odd blend of Canadian and American accents.

Do you want these individuals eliminated? What is thy bidding, my master?

@ L2:

Indian. As in from India. As in we celebrated Diwali yesterday.

Also Canadian, are you familiar with Russel Peters?

Americans have accents though. 😕

But I guess its not that different from how I speak.
