    I like the accent of an Australian girl I work with, wish I had one. Oddly though I don't enjoy listening to the men at all.

    I'm from the American midwest, Missouri to be exact. I think that everybody has an accent, no matter where they're from. I run into people from Kansas every day, and notice a few differences in their accent...and they don't live that far away. I notice differences even in where people come from within the same city, never mind different coasts. I happen to love hearing the different speech patterns and oddball colloquialisms from different places...though I did get the giggles when a friend from Boston suggested I have a "potty on the potio" (party on the patio)...I really had to bite my toung to keep from saying that I'd prefer to keep the potty in the bathroom. Confusions like that are always funny to me.

    And Florida and Floridians don't have accents either usually.
    Ohio is part of the Midwest...

Especially along that coast, like South Carolina, I went to Mrytle Beach and everyone there has that southern accent.
    Orlando and Tampa are the only cities I've seen of Florida, and everyone sounded either old, or accentless... their voices sounded like mine.

    Midwesterners sound so bland... we have no elongated vowels, we have no hard letters, we have no d or g in random places... so bland...

    I was born and raised in Tampa. I have been told my many people from all over the states that I don't sound like a southerner. It greatly depends on what part of Florida you are in. Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Pensacola, you'll find alot more southern accents, being so close to Georgia and Alabama. Tampa, Orlando, Miami, not a lot of southern draws. Central and South Florida also have a lot more transplants than anywhere else in Florida.

    Incidentally, I love most European and Austrailian accents.

    Of course you people have an accent. I bet if I spoke to you, not knowing beforehand you were from the US, I'd be able to tell you were, and obviously not the southern states.

    I appreciate different accents and dialects, too.

    I have a very distinct accent. Lets just say I don't speak the way I type,
