    I'm pretty sure there's a Danish accent hiding in there somewhere, though.
    I would gladly share my country with you.

    Light my buns on fire and call me crazy! Rantzien sounds SO smexy!

    Ohioans have this retarded habit of adding an "r" to the word "wash" or any word with "wash" in it.

    Then local vernacular has corrupted the names of many cities around here, like Versailles, Bellefontaine, Lima, Findlay, etc etc Get me out of here. :S

    In New York a lot of people add a "aw" sound to a lot of random things. A sample would be the words York (Yawk) coffee (Cawfee), and chocolate (Chawcolate).

    I used to hate the New York accent. Until I talked to a nice New Yorker on the way to a Yankee's game when I was visiting. Now I love it!

    I have a Scottish accent, so I butcher the English language in my own special way.

    Sometimes I say words oddly, like "about" because "abouwt". D:

    I feel when an Australian accent is too strong its hard to understand and abit annoying to listen to. But when there is a light one it can be quite pleasant to the ears and whenever I try to speak with one I find that it uses less mouth muscles making it easier to speak.

    slightly off topic: I pronounce the letters 'th' as an 'f' or sometimes a 'v' and almost everyone I know is against it.
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!

    The Kiwi accent is an incredibly funny one for us over here. No offence, brew.
