I despise American accents.
I love British accents :love:.
And I swear that only a very minimal number of Australians speak like the "let's throw a shrimp on the barbie" bogans.

^ 2 of your three statements greatly disheartened me.

How do you feel about the accents of Americans who were raised by immigrant Irish parents.

People ask me if I'm Australian because, apparently, I say "no worries" a lot and that just happens to be something many Australian people supposedly say. Truth is I'm a Spanish dude living in Canada, so I have this weird hybrid of influences from all over.

The only request to be heard over the phone has been to hear my voice, which has made some blush :p:

Which two?

I probably should rephrase my opinion.
I don't dislike all American accents. Just the really... uneducated, hick-ish ones. And Dr. Phil. And the fact that Australians always put on American accents when they do big films.

I were born white trash and I will be white trash -- until the day they drag me to the curb.

Heh, I don't need a video to experience a Boston accent, I lived it for the first 23 years of my life. :thumb:

My Boston accent is mostly gone at this point or so I'm told, and I have more of a generic American accent (although I've had several people tell me I sound like I'm Canadian), but get me drunk, especially if I'm with friends back home, and the accent begins to resurface.

Of course they don't! I was just trying to explain the type of American accents that don't appeal to me.
