Is that a consequence of living in Guernsey? I have no idea what their accents sound like.

Also I seem to recall you mentioning that 100 Things that Pisses Me Off instead of Piss Me Off was vernacular.

I pay for the damn thing if I can get 6 or 7 people to commit to using it.

On another forum, we uploaded soundfiles to boomp3.com and posted the links... but the recorded wavs need to be converted to mp3s first.

Anyway, I once upon a time had an Australian accent but it became NZified within a year or so of me moving here and now I have a pretty neutral mix of the two. Yet I had an Australian high school teacher who still retained his accent after living in NZ for 15 years.

in any case, I'd kill for an Irish accent...but I dunno if you can simply change your accent...would it be as simple as living in that area for a period of time, or what?

Pretty much your accent is determined by the earlier years of your life when you're brain is still developing. So if you're, say, 21 years old and move to Ireland I doubt you'd take on an Irish accent.

No I'm pretty sure it's possible.

I think my dad was older than twenty-one when he went to North Carolina.

It probably depends on the person. I have a friend who spent the first 15 years of her life in America. Now, she's been in Australia for 15 years but she still has the American accent.
