Likely because of how often I've moved around, I've acquired an amalgamation of American accents. My standard speaking voice as of now is the boring non-accent of the American midwest (with a slight Texan twinge), but I can pass for someone from most major regions of the continental US. However, I frequently impersonate my Irish friend when out at the shops (for the lolz), and he tells me I do a pretty good job, so here's a conversation I had a week ago with a Barista at starbucks:
Allo Oid loik a vannila steeamer, and a slice o(f) lemun cake, if yea woould.
Sure thing...
Tanks, ow much do I owe ya?
Uh... *amount*
Right, here y'are.
Are you visiting Seattle?
No, why?
Nothing... your drink will be on the right sir.
Much obloiged.
She was giving me such a weird look... heh. Seriously, if you can do an unusual (for wherever you live) accent well, try it while shopping. Makes a boring task a lot more interesting.
