Do You Like Or Dislike Your Own Accent?

I personally dont like my accent because it sounds like a horrible mixture of Brummie & Mancunian accents combined but i do try to changed it now & again especially at work.

So what do you guys like or dislike about your accents?

Yeah, it's a very southern where I studied and worked (London/Brighton) and a bit of Leeds going on sometimes (where I grew up).

Landan, innit.

lol, that true but IMO Leeds accent is so much cooler than Sheffield accent.
Asian girls with a Sheffield accent are SCARY!

Im sure 'innit' is a slang word from the Brummie accent.
I still love my hometown of Birmingham, but i still lol whenever someone says that Birmingham is a city with 1 million people with a speech impediment.

LMFAO

I speak with a Pachuco accent (Mexican-American talk). I really don't "like" or dislike it; its just the way its always been.

its okay, i wish i had a real suave accent maybe a lil enrigue englesia's or antonio.

my voice is a mix of a cali beach bum and a redneck country.

when i was small i had a heavy cali barrio latin accent.. my mom did not like it.

now its:

check out that betty, brah....smokin, how'ya doin ma'am?

Love it.

But, well, my accent is more English in general with a bit of Doncaster...as that's where I live and grow up.

Birmingham Accents (Brummie)

Pacific Northwestern accents are the most bland of all accents. So it's hard to care.

I don't have an accent, it's the rest of you that talk funny.

The defining traits of my accent are the way it's dropped all of the interesting characteristics of other accents.

Yeah, anything a bit more north is not well looked upon by Southerners. I don't like Livaaapoooooool accent...

I have cousins in B'Ham.

I actually visited Birmingham a couple of days ago, it was the first time in over 4 years that i'd been there & i actually got quite emotional seeing the city after such a long time. Northerners & Southerners can keep on slagging off Birmingham all they want but i dont give a crap anymore because even though i now live in London, i still say that im proud to be a Brummie and i love Birmingham to death.

And that video was excellent because it shows how great it was to see Birmingham shed off its industrial history and the city deserves to be called the UK's 2nd city.

My accent is horrible when I speak in english. However, it's pretty darn fine in french

I have a lisp.

I don't really have a lisp though.

Now this is ****ing odd, I Googled "black security guard" and hit images; this was one of the results:

Rob, give me a ride tomorrow. I've got to go from my house around Lake Merrit to my electrician's class in South City, and I've got to be there by 8:35. Don't feel like waking up at 5.

Lake Merritt's in Oakland; I'm not going to Oakland, especially considering I've got to be at work tomorrow by 8:00 and I'll likely roll in around 9:10-20 as it is.

Sorry, bro.
