Delaware, bitches! We don't have accents. The only thing that's really different is that we pronounce "water" correctly. It's not wooter, folks.

Sometimes I have trouble with pronouncing "water" and it almost but not quite comes out as "warter."

 

Also.. today one of my friends said I sound English.. I get the feeling they're just not good with accents, but... wat.

I have a little bit of a Northwestern Ohio dialect. It's a very strange region that still needs studying since most people don't know why people from that specific area speak like they do. It's mainly the normal US dialect, pronouncing most words normally but with weird tinges to it.

 

For example, I say 'melk' instead of 'milk' and 'owal' instead of 'oil'. It's vaguely southern, but since I'm pretty far from the south, it makes little sense. Neither my mother or father have this dialect at all, I don't know where I got it.

MLP - I usually say it as MyLittlePony - May Leetehl Pounee (or something like that)

Em-El-Pee

 

Twilight Sparkle - Twaylay sparkl

Rainbow Dash - Raynbow dash

Brony - Brou-nee

 

I call other characters of MLP like in cartoon but I have problem with Rarity. "R" is quite impossible for me to say in english.

 

I cannot say "No Worries", "wrong" or it's very difficult for me.

I myself have a slight amount of trouble with saying "about it." It usually comes out as "uh-baht it."

Yeah, sort of like that.... it's strange, but I think it's a form of the "relaxed pronunciation" phenomenon.

Most of those kinds of games do. It's been proven that the kids you play with up until 3rd grade determine the vast majority of your speech patterns, accents, and inflections... My observations are that any proximity to a particular accent will cause that accent to be exposed even more in others.

Don't insult me. I have trained professionals to do that.

Some people think I'm American. Others think I'm Canadian.

 

I'm an Anglo-Scot. A mix of Scottish and English mannerisms. I sound English in Scotland, and Scottish in England.

I guess my 'r's have a twang more commonly associated with North America, but I haven't been as west as Ireland!

My accent is a walking tour of the entire United States and United Kingdoms, varying on context, mood and random chance.
