Ya'll know there isn't JUST ONE British accent, right? I mean, I think everyone here is thinking the 'posh' Londoner accent, but MOST Brits don't sound like that. I mean, Cockney accent. . . Or Yorkshire. . . Chavs don't sound all that posh either. . . Or cultured. And the from American Southern accent actually originates from different British accents, sooooo. . . Which also brings me to the point there is NO one Southern accent. The stuff on TV is a far cry from how a lot of different southerners sound like. Maybe Virgina and South Carolina, you might get the plantation southern accent, but NOT where I've been living! Stuck between the armpit of Georgia and Alabama here in the Pan Handle of Florida. Sometimes the accent is so thick, it's quite hard to understand some people around here being from Wisconsin originally, and even after 11 years here, sometimes it's like, "What was that?!" I, myself, have an inbetweeny accent, I have never picked up the Southern drawl, but I was about an hour and a half out of Chicago in one of the Wisconsin suburbs, and oh, yes, I have a partial Chicago accent to mix with my Wisconsin accent, but I don't have a farm girl accent like some people here think a Wisconsin accent sounds like. @_@ I don't think I necessarily have a favorite accent? Being someone who studied linguistics, I enjoy a wide range of accents.
