Very attractive, I'm sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-accent-1#post-468238 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 08:02:19 +0000 heffalump 468238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. But my mom is from Ohio so I do say some words like she does. DH makes fun of me. Weird that I picked up a little bit of her Ohio accent instead of my dad's NY accent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-accent-1#post-468188 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 04:14:18 +0000 mamimami 468188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been told I have a California/ valley accent. Ack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-accent-1#post-468187 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 04:12:15 +0000 SweetMamaM 468187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a kiwi accent but when I was in California we got asked if we were British. To us the Brits sound completely different but I guess it would be like state-to-state variance for you all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-accent-1#post-467704 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 21:44:12 +0000 Bao 467704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: we thoroughly enjoyed it and had a few laughs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-accent-1#post-467695 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 21:42:54 +0000 prettylizy 467695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: lol, glad you guys had a laugh.

A linguistics professor once went around the room and had us read a sentence and guessed where we were from and said I was 'an educated New Jersey' lol. I guess that's better than a nasty New Jersey accent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-accent-1#post-467664 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 21:38:02 +0000 MrsTiz 467664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Southern here, bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-accent-1#post-467655 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 21:37:10 +0000 Bao 467655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: if you say so ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-accent-1#post-467636 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 21:33:56 +0000 rachiecakes 467636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I moved to California people were really bummed that I didn't have a Boston accent. Sometimes I fake it though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-accent-1#post-467624 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 21:32:38 +0000 BananaPancakes 467624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Southern.

I forgot I did that until you said it.</p> <p>I've lived in the south for awhile now and have married a southerner. I've got a mixed accent. Most people from the midwest will say they don't have an accent, as it's the TV voice. It's the easiest to understand accent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-accent-1#post-467597 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 21:24:38 +0000 singingbee 467597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: that's hilarious!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-accent-1#post-467595 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 21:22:58 +0000 Bao 467595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: hahahaha oh my gosh DH and I are getting a kick out of this!!! We are like "we are totally saying it that way"...then we realized because she is from MI too. We think we are saying it the right way. I'd like to know how others say words we say, differently. Side note, we point to where we live on our hand too ;) whoever this girl is, lives exactly where we do. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-accent-1#post-467588 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 21:17:49 +0000 loveisstrange 467588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I'm from the Midwest but I have the typical American "non-accent" accent. For some reason, I get asked if I'm Canadian a lot by people in England. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-accent-1#post-467576 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 21:12:16 +0000 oliviaoblivia 467576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: it's funny, now when I go home some people think I'm Canadian! I think it's because I used the word toque in a sentence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-accent-1#post-467574 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 21:11:57 +0000 prettylizy 467574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWx2im-Wu0g&#038;feature=youtube_gdata_player" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWx2im-Wu0g&#038;feature=youtube_gdata_player</a></p> <p>Lol!!!!
