I think the worst comes out in the Northern Irish Accent when pronouncing town names
eg Newtownards = Newtnards

I can see this thread going horribly wrong. I see lots of Americans claiming to be accent-less. I'd say that's probably untrue and you probably sound unbelievably American to me. In the same sense that I would usually say I'm free from accent when in fact I probably sound unbelievably English to you.
Problem is I don't know what kind of accent I have. I'm from Texas, but my parents were born in Costa Rica. My dad's parents were born in Ecuador, my mom's parents in Peru. My mom's grandparents were born in Israel, and then some of us came from places like Armenia. It's a big ol' clusterfuck of accents, that I can't tell what part of the world mine comes from.

Yes, I'm going down town.

Argh, am goin Daarn Taarn.

That's the Barnsley accent for you. We to replace own with arn in a good couple of words.
I know a chap from Barnsley. Nicest guy I've ever met, but it sounds like he's just been hit on the head and is having a hard time remembering his name. Also, I keep expecting, in the middle of whatever we're talking about, for him to say:

"Ooooooooh. A coop'f tea'd be loouuvleh"
The way this is spelt makes me think of Dudley. "Clowun/Towun/Gowun"

That's perfectly acceptable. It's reasonable to not know what your accent is, or not to belong to one accent in particular. I just mean the people claiming to not have an accent.

I like eating toast
I like eatin' toas.

I just have a relaxed American accent, with the pronunciation of "ing" as "en" and the leaving off of hard consonants at the end of words sometimes.

Well, not really any discenrable accent.
I am Canadian, but I watch British tv, so I know how to pronounce word properly. And I use words like pub.

Hard to phonotype.
British tint over a finnish accent here. I'm easily influenced, and mainly talk with brits. Sue me.

Wouldn't know how to type it.
Wooden gnaw how to type it.

Something like that.

"Dra meg baklengs i fuglekassa ditt fettehau"
You've gotten it wrong!
(dra mei baklængs inn i fuggelkæssa du ditt fettberj)

OT: Being a Norwegian, I guess I only have like the Scandinavian accent(trying everything not to sound like [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoE18IgEVf0" (title,target)]this[/URL].( "the demper"= suspension in cars)

Much of my writing(with friends) is a mixture of norwegian and english, making it difficult to understand for outsiders. But that's a plus right?
No er da vel faktisk ikkje eg som har tatt feil her, med min blanding av vest og nordlands dialekt så betyr fettehau "fittehode"

Just so you know..

I need to cut the grass.

I need to cut the grass.

I have a 'posh' accent, but it doesn't quite extend to saying grarss. And glarss. Just, generically well spoken. British btw, if you hadn't guessed.

I had some pasta at that hotel in America.

I had some paahsta (like "pan") at dat hawteyell in Uhmareuhka.

I also say "yall" a lot. Apparently, people up north say "you guys" instead (correct me if I'm wrong - I have a friend from New Joisey, and this is what she told me). I dunno, yall is just so much more natural to me. ;p

EDIT: I guess I should've mentioned I'm from Texas.
