i have a totally random question for you....

If you could have any accent in the entire world, what would it be?

Every time I move somewhere new I find mine changes slightly without me even noticing until somone points it out.

I've been pondering what accent I would like for a whole 10mins and still can't decide... I'm thinking maybe Kiwi, but I don't know why.

You can tell I'm tired and have nothing better to do at 540am in the morning can't you! :oops:

depends where i lived. in hawaii an english accent is cool cause you never hear them. in colorado it would be cool to be japanese and have a japanese accent. but i wouldnt want a southern, canadian, or french accent. i also dont seem to like arab accents but have only met a few.

Girls in my area think British accents are hot :roll:

I've always wondered, what is the stereotypical American accent? Very hard to do over the internet...but could someone try?

Well the English would think a hick accent to be typical American accent ?
Same as a lot of Americans i have met think a London accent is a cockney accent.

I`m on my way to VA, Tomcat :D

it depends. scottish is pretty cool. but there all the scottish girls thought my american accent was cool because i sounded like i was straight from 'the oc.' chicks with the southern belle southern accent are hot. i wish i had a full cockney slang vocabulary though
