Every person's heritage or most recent living area can be traced in their speech patterns (aka, their "accent"). There is only one exception: the Midwest United States has no discernible accent (with the exceptions of Chicago and parts of Ohio and Michigan) because it sounds, to most ears, phonetically neutral. There have probably been studies, but I don't care enough to look them up.

I try really hard to maintain phonetic neutrality, but I've lived in New England too long. It's bleeding through, thus:

Worcester
"Wusstuh"

Are you sure?
"What ah ya, frum Mahs?"

I'm leaving to buy some things, I will be back later.
"Iz goin' tuduh stoah. I ain't buyin youz nuh'in."

...And so on in that fashion.

My "I" sounds are very sharp, which is unusual for someone from where I'm from (South Carolina). I don't know how to write that out, so I'm going to use "Igh" (as in Colonel Tigh).

I'm going to go get in my car, blast some music and buy a new game.
Igh'm gunna go geht in migh car, ble-ast some myoosic n' bigh a new game.

A commonly mispronounced word here is a bigger university, Clemson.

Most people say Clemp-son, I say Clehms-son

It's not that we 'don't have an accent,' it's just hard for us to recognize it when we talk.

Like, it's not that we, like, 'don' have an accent' it's jus *insert front teeth squeaking* hard for us to, like, recogni *insert front teeth squeaking* it when we, like, talk.

Uhkay Iall givfe it uh try... Uhm is i' wurkin'. Nodt uhntirely shore. The uhkcasional wurd is pruhnounced diffuren'ly but fur the most part Ie don't have uh real strong akcen' (Yeh right, Ie ken hear i' now). Eum tryin' to get the most obvvious parts ofv meyh akcent into wurds but itds on the harder side. Perhaps if we had sum ofv the fancy phoendic signs thadt they use to show how uh ledder is pruhnounced i' wood be easier. Never mind, Ie got aen akcen' if I lissen hard enuff. Ie seem te soffen souns abit whenevfer Ie talk. And swollow the har' consanence a' the end ofv wurds.

Eum from eestern Pencilvanuah. Eum about uh oer 'r tu oudtside Philly and Ie pronounce "Lancaster", "Len-KIST-er", not "LAN-cast-er".

How's tha'?

(I only talk this way when I'm not carefully pronouncing each letter. Even then it still creeps in there.)
Edut: Eh'um workin' on i' as Ie go.

Can I have a half day holiday please?

Can I 'ave an 'alf daay 'oliday please?

I'm British!

I'm Bri'ish!

Hello My Dear!

Alright M'duck? (Ok I'm not old enough to use that one, that belongs to an older generation)

We miss out a lot of h's where I'm from for some reason, and t's in the middle of words. Of course to me it just sounds normal but I've had enough experience speaking to people with different accents to spot the mistakes at this point. We also seem to really stress the "a" sound in words such as day or way or daft or grass so they sound slightly elongated.

Mostly sarcasm. Studies have shown that a Midwest accent is viewed as the "American Standard". That isn't Americans saying that; it is other countries saying that. I am midwest born and raised.

I'm Norwegian, so my accent differs from a stereotypical English accent with a little hint of American to Norwenglish. It all depends on who I'm talking to, if I talk to SnootyEnglishman only, I tend to talk more Americanised than if I talk to, say, Mr. Snuffles and other Brits.

The weather outside is looking a bit overcast.

The wether ootside is lookin' a bit dreich.

I don't know the if the written form is best to show an accent.

Ah dinnae ken if the written forrm is best ti show an accent.

I'm from Edinburgh (the accent's about 90% easier tae understand than a Weegie accent say) and I've been called a little posh before. To my ear, I am pronouncing most words wi'oot ah distinct accent, but Ah think most people would disagree.

Canadian.
Being a Canadian, I can safely say that this is a fallacy. All Canadians would say "oot and aboot".
If you say "Oot" or "Aboot" Then you are not a Canadian, you are an American attempting to make fun of a Canadian.
Come on dude, you've never said OOT in your life! Don't propel the American Stereotype! You build your stereotype the way Canada intended it!
