Type out your accent phonetically!

My ack-sent is far too sub-limin-al to be of muh-ch use.
No, in all honesty, the only thing people comment on is my pronunciation of words containing- "ow". Ah-ow.
Don't have a particular accent. Been mistaken for American, and German. Irish occasionally.
But it's more English, with far too many Scottish-isms.

This is sort of a pointless exercise if the people responding don't even know the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet). After all, how do you know what the letters (especially vowels) you're typing sound like? "Typing phonetically" doesn't mean anything unless the letters have constant phonetic values.
i got an officers accent i.e. a non accent that doesnt originate from any part of england so i tend to say every sylable of a word rather then skip out on some like i say and with the D on the end most of the time.
i also tend to use quite long words in average conversation and people tend to say that im quite posh because of this but dont confuse this with the queens english posh

No. I talk fast but have no accent. Other than Fast Talking Yankee from what i get from my southern/midwestern friends.

What? Americans have massive accents. I don't know what you guys mean.Sneaky-Pie said:
O.T. I can't really write my accent phonetically more than I already do. My accent consists of an awful lot of apostrophe's basically.
If I speak quickly it sometimes sounds like a dialect of 'proper' English, but I don't know that I have an incredibly pronounced accent otherwise. I'm sure I have one, but I assure you it isn't the "oot and aboot" Canadianisms that my fellow Canucks in this thread have laid claim to.
Why yes, I would like a sandwhich. Thank you!
gimme dat fuking sammich *****! bout time!
......yea I got nothing. I also am a norther state American, and as such I define my voice as the total absence of an accent. I guess I was trying to mock the average city-dweller with that....I dunno, I just woke up, gimme a while for my funny to start up.

No, you'll say it weird... depending where you hail from. We all do.SnootyEnglishman said:
Ner, yul say it al weird... dependin on where yu hail from. We al dee.
EDIT: I don't talk like that all the time, I talk like that without realising it and switch between that and normal English. Well, that's what it's like when you live in Northumberland.
Yeah, I don't notice an accent in myself, but I know if I went somewhere else, they'd detect an accent. All I know is I'm from near Boston and I do NOT have a Boston accent. I do say "wicked" a lot though.
As a fellow Canuck, I am glad to see it represented more accurately than the Kevin Smith justification for liking Degrassi -- liking chicks who say "aboot". "Abowt" is better. I dated an American who lived in Ohio and they had an accent, different than NY, NJ, MA, TX, LA, TN, to name a few.PrimoThePro said:
All Canadians don't sound alike either. I have a few things that are associated more with the east coast of Canada then where I grew up in Ontario.
So OT: Let me out of the car so I can go over in the trees and take a piss
Lemme outta the kerr so-eye can gover in the trees an' take-a piss
I have a Midwestern(type of American) accent. So standard pronouncing "butter" as "budder" and other classic American exchanges of t's for d's. The biggest thing in the way I talk is my dialect. I'll sometimes say "watcha wanna do" instead of "what do you want to do", "'til" instead of "until" and such; but this is on purpose so I wouldn't consider it an accent.
Edit: I can't really get any more specific because the Midwestern accent is considered no accent by many Americans. So, I have trouble knowing what the characteristics of my accent is.

Thing is, you just highlighted part of why Americans don't think they have accents. I have a pretty flat accent for an American, which is amazing considering my family are all from New England. R's become "ahs" as in "Look ovah theyah," and many "a" sounds become "er," as in "want some pizzer?"dathwampeer said:
But my "r's" sound like "r's" and my "a's" sound like "a's." I'm not saying I won't sound foreign to someone from another country, but with respect to American accents, I can't really say much.
I do say odd words, though. My parents and grandparents use some chiefly british terms that just stuck.
