How do you fit so many dialects into such a small country? o.o
i've never understood that.
I'm from the mid-atlantic states (Pennsylvania to be persice), but I've also had several years of speech therapy and my mother is from New England, so my accent isn't place-able.
My friends joke that I pick up a slight canadian accent half the time for whatever reason
Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!"

i like hearing accents.
it's strange.
i think everyone talks like me. cos i read people's posts in my head, i presume they talk in the same 'accent' as me.
“The good things don’t always soften the bad, but vice-versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.”
“Nobody important? Blimey, that’s amazing. Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important before.”
“If it’s time to go, remember what you’re leaving. Remember the best. My friends have always been the best of me.”
Keep in mind Americans didn't "lose" their earlier English accents - the standard English accent evolved after the 1700's break. It's said there are people in West Virginia that speak closer to what Elizabethan English sounded like than any place in UK. Your America accent just might be olde tyme English lol.
