    Oh, Midwesterners definitely have a definable accent. I can tell a Midwesterner apart from anybody in a crowd of people. Also, I can pretty easily recognize the different versions of the "southern" accent. The most prominent accents in the South are South Carolinian, Virginian and Texan. Then to a lesser extent are North Carolina and Georgia. I have a bit of a North Carolinian accent, which is actually kind of plain. Also, Louisiana accents are easily recognizable. The only ones I have problems with are Tennesseian, Kentuckian and Alabama accents, because they don't sound like anything special to me.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I have a fetish for wicked accents; I don't know why.

    I absolutely love it if someone sounds very...SOMETHING. Anything! My fave accents so far would be Geordie (I seriously love their accent, I have no clue xD), Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Spanish and Southern, yes. I adore Southern accents.

Ontarionians at times sound unique, and samething for Quebequois. And I can't comment about Western Canada, for I have not really talked to anyone from there. Now if we are talking French, there is a big difference between Northern NB French and Southern NB French. Weird how all these languages start sounding different yet we are all speaking the same thing...


    Also I know some people from Chicago, and they have accents too. So isn't that considered part of the Midwest?

    Oh man, accents are freaking awesome. I get the feeling that a girl could far more easily arouse me with an incredible voice than an incredible body, that's for sure. I've been told my New Zealand accent is very strong by loads of people, so I guess I have a very strong NZ accent, yeah. Despite having lived in Scotland for three years, I've not picked up on any of their sayings or accents... weird, that. Oh well.

    My favourite accents are...
    A non-nasal Californian accent can be very sexy.
    An Irish accent is just Godly. It makes me feel so... cozy. I think if an Irish person was to kidnap me, they'd have an easy job.
    English and Scottish are so numerous it's kind of hard to say I like them in general... I mean, there's a new dialect and accent whenever you travel for an hour in any one direction. Crazy. But a Kent accent is very, very cute.
    Italian and Jamaican accents have to be the most fun to listen to.
    Southern American is also neat.
    South African is also nice.

    That pretty much covers it, I'd say.

    EDIT: Oh, yeah. I shouldn't forget to say an Apu-like Indian accent is quite comical to listen to.

    Scottish accents for teh win. Oh, and West Country accents, if only for that Bill Bailey show:

    Oh, yeah, that reminds me. I've lived with so many accents and talked to so many people from around the world (on the phone and while travelling) that I can actually notice my own accent.

    Accents are very cool. I of course have an Australian accent. I'm not sure which is my favourite accent though.

    Are you still incapable of saying "no"?

    They still happen, just not always when I'm around to get involved. You just have to know the right people. Times have changed, get with 'em! Nowadays you need to keep up with the likes of Shauna, Spiffing Cheese, Faris and Resha if you want in on every vchat. I think they have them really often, actually. And Resha has one of the coolest voices ever. And Faris says emu as 'e-moo' and it's amusing.
