Right.. One can't really type an accent by deffinition
Maar als ik een poging zou moeten doen dan denk ik dat het ongeveer zo zal klinken. Wedden dat jullie denken dat het Duits of Deens is. ^^

Standard English for the win.
Standerd Inglish faw thuh win.
I also object to everyone claiming that Americans speak properly. The BBC accent IS standard English, and all regional accents are adulterations of it.
Before people start flaming let me make this clear, I do not object to other people's accents. It is a natural part of human culture that people in different areas speak with different intonations, but calling the American accent 'standard' and claiming that they pronounce words in the same way as they are written is plain incorrect. If the American version of English were the basis, as this implies, then people in England would speak American, not the other way around.
It seriously gets on my nerves when Americans accuse me of not speaking proper English. Listen Pancakes, the English language was developed through a mixture of Latin, French, German, Ancient Saxon and a million other languages, hundreds of years before America even existed.

Pretty much this. Though I do use British spellings, simply because they are more awesome.SnootyEnglishman said:
Despite being being Romanian (that's somewhere in Eastern-Europe -look it up), and having learned English mostly from watching cartoons as a child, for some reason I sound, speak, write, and think British! One natural-born American from New-York actually said I have a Cambridge accent ...whatever That meant.
This could be because of my fascination with Villains, or my constant strive to at-least Appear intellectual, but sometimes I found myself ostracized because of it, particularly the Accent part

"No accent?" "Phonetically neutral?" Ha! The definition of an accen' (some of us Americans don't enunciate our T's) is a mode of pronunciation characteristic of a particular localidy or group. Even if you claim your localidy or group to be phonedicly neutral, that very neutralidy IS your accen'.
Woohoo! I'm hooked on phonics!

I expect you have an american accent then.SnootyEnglishman said:

He may have meant you sound like you are from Cambridge. Although it's mostly students from all over the country there, so there isn't necessarily a local accent. He probably meant you sound English and posh.Neferius said:
