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!
SHUT UP! If they think we're THAT stupid, they'll never suspect us to take over the world!

I mean, uhhh, oh Primo, you silly guy, you! Us Canadians are just silly people with a grammar problem!

Typical upper middle class Englishman here, I was raised to say things as they're written. But it doesn't bother me as I live in Oxfordshire so most of my friends speak the same as me aswell.

My accent doesn't really change they way I pronounce words. In fact, that's exactly how I pronounced these sentences. I'm very well spoken it seems. Apart from occasionally pronouncing I as "Ah" and for as "fer."

As a Brit, you yanks tend to have :S How to put this without insulting anyone. A drawl. You tend to elongate certain words or sounds. Its gets progressively worse the further south you get. But even in NY you get it to some extent even if it comes out more as gangster (not the horrid new age ima RAPA! Gangster like 1960 bank-robber gangster).

Personally my accent changes in a very weird way. I'm currently living in a combination N.Wales, Hull, Warwick and a place very close to Windsor, and depending on where I am my accent shifts and I drop different letters and ergh. I have the sort of accent where if Im in the north, ppl tell me I have no accent, if Im in the south I have a heavy accent.

I sometimes drop the letters H and T, So Hull becomes Hull and butter becomes either buer or buter. Water sometimes gets its T dropped. Cant is a wierd one. It sort of sounds like I drop the T but its still clear it cant not can. I change what I do so aften I couldnt list em all but the ones I have tend to be the Hull ones as I've lived their longest so its the one I know best. But I have a few welsh ones too.

EDIT: Just read the post above, I say aboot on occasion too :p

A year or so ago, there was the Great Accent Thread by Furbut (If I remember correctly)

Everyone uploaded youtube videos of themselves speaking. Accents were funny. Laughs were had.

That's been done and dusted. But now I come to ask you to WRITE out your accent phonetically. Simply give us a sentence in English, then type out how it sounds when you or someone you know pronounces it

E.G.

She Moved Back to Ireland, didn't she?

Sh'moofed bak Tiyland, dintshe?

I'm going to the shops

Am goen tuther shops

Your turn!

the funny thing here is that everybody will pronounce your written words differently. thats why furburt used videos.
And yes i am sorry that i still didnt upload mine.

You have to use IPA to do it right.

aɪ laɪks fɔnətɪks :p

Yep. The country with the best "Way Words Are Spelled to Way Words Are Pronounced" ratio.

I mean, we still pronounce "could" as "cuhd" instead of "co-uld" so we aren't perfect, but at least we can spell "color" properly.
