The worlds worst accent.

[Nr1Humanoid]

What's the worst accent ever despite the fact that the person speaking it is actually good at english.

[strykerdarksilence]

Broad Welsh accent. It can make the most intelligent person sound dim.

People don't like the way us southerners talk.

Tom Petty said it best I think.

Midwestern Accent is nails on a chalkboard to me.

I think it honestly has to do with where your from. The Southern Accent is often derided, but it sounds normal to me.

[biafra]

It's not an accent really...but people who call people "bro" all the time grate on me.

The accent in District 9 annoyed the daylights out of me

That's right up there with people who end every other sentence with "know what I'm sayin'?".

No. The real question is, Do you know what you're saying?

I don't know, people in the US seem to think every state sounds different, but I don't know.

Everywhere I've been people pretty much sound the same. Though I will admit New Englanders have a distinct accent.

I had a Professor in college that was born and lived 30 years in Calgary.... then he lived 15 years in Atlanta, GA.



One of the most f'ed up accents I've ever heard. Although it was also fascinating in a way.

Funny, I always thought Midwester Accent's were the more "Normal sounding" type accent. I guess I must sound really odd to people then. But then again, your right, it does depend on where your from.

They're large dogs, they are allowed to talk any way they want.

The Toronto accent annoys me for some reason. They can't even seem to pronounce the name of their own city correctly.

[Mr Captain Falcon]

Moon accent.

I had a Classics professor with a Boston Kennedy accent. Painful to say the least.

[Ducky Momo]

The accent from Fargo. Also the New York/Jersey accent.

What, the "Seth Efricen" accent doesn't do it for you? You'd hate the New Zealanders then. They have really weird pronounciation and are silly.

Believe me, people have wide dialect and accent variances from one place to another. I can tell you what part of New Orleans someone is from just by how they pronounce the word "baby".

Granted, I've got a more trained ear than most (both my degrees are in linguistics), but there are tons of subtle and major differences in the way people in the U.S. talk.

At least it's not as bad as the Birmingham accent.

[Soultastic]

I refuse to mention one in the basis that my accent might not be as good as I think
