Actually, the Brits converted English from German, so we really should be speaking German if You want to get historical about it.

English is basically just loads of stolen stuff from other languages... Sweet.

Actually, the American spellings are older... The British Isles had a lot of Hughenot influence after the settlers left for America... but I don't like history (even though I'm good at it  tongue ), so we'll just say that British English is awesome, and leave it at that  tongue  (no offence intended)

Anyway, I have no clue where my accent comes from... but I must have one - some people have been commenting on my SFTs with "I no undahstahnd ur axcent"... >.>

Re: Accents?

I guess I have a Flemish accent... But not as extreme as my dad when he's in a lazy mood for work. Last night I lol'd extremely hard with this Belgian popularity, Piet Huysentruyt.

Now watch hod bas things can go: can you even understand what he is saying xD http://www.scratch.mit.edu/ext/youtube/?v=Hq4NdUyTEpY

It's probably not as funny when you don't know Dutch...

Well, I am Irish and my family has more american accents, but when ever I visit my grandparents who have Irish accents I talk with an Irish accent for a day or two.

Re: Accents?

i don't have an accent as i live in canada yet close to the US border so i don't have a crazy canadian accent or a crazy american accent (like southern USA)  i do however sometimes say eh.

i've also spent years on a british accent and have been able to pull off an almost flawless british accent.  it's not perfect yet but it's very close.
