Americans: What is your accent?

Oh, like I was gonna get anything else.

Nebraska.

Who the hell can sensibly rhyme bag with vague??

Anyhoo, I got West/no accent.

Midland North. Not only a voice, but I've also been told I have a great face for radio!

Tha hell?

I got the West. Which is real interesting since I've lived every minute of my life in the Northeast.

Northeast, not very surprisingly given my Nu Yaak tang.

Like anyone can belive the accent of a CIA agent...

Yea, it's getting washed out by all the exotic characters I play. Hilda the Valkyrie, Mimosa the Damsel, Olga Ludmilla Jarbreaker...

And as I said, the CIA are amateurs. There are better ... employers

Your real resume must look like someone spilled a bowl of alphabet soup...

Coke is soda, but soda is not necessarily Coke.

I don't need a test to tell me I'm straight up southern.

I've got a midland accent, which is odd when you consider I've lived in California my whole life. Still, I've often felt I have "no accent" or that I had a "television" accent.

I should say, though, when I feel so inclined I can twang with the best of them.

From that one thing that Kyle did, Elwood's accent is so far in the Deep South that even penguins can't find him.

And Garamet, you don't have but a faint trace of NYC.

Midland accent.

Came back "the West."

Regardless, I still maintain that I have no damned accent. It's no coincidence that so many telemarketing companies locate their call centers in the midwest. The semi-educated people around here who don't go out of their way to sound ignorant with ghetto-speak are more intelligible.

Can someone PLEASE answer the question of how you rhyme "bag" with "vague"?!!?!?!

Southern, and I didn't get the bag vauge thing either. I mean bag doesn't sound like vauge, but it sure doesn't sound like the yankees pronounce it either.

Indeed. The proper way to pronounce the word bag is "s-a-c-k."

Some people from or with ancestry in New England pronounce those two very similarly.

My friend 'Robert' (regged here at WF but never posts ) has very little accent, but does tend to pronounce 'bag' like 'beg.' In high school, we'd occasionally tease him by saying things like 'Put the reg in the beg and put on the teg.' (If you say that just right, you'll sound like John F. Kennedy.)

God, I'm such a mis mash. I will use bag or sack interchangably...

Southern people.

I remember talking on the phone with Storm and mentioning my Aunt and he had no idea what it was until I said my mother's sister and he was like..."Ohhhh, your ant."

Maybe his relatives ruin picnics but not mine.

I say "aunt" like "ant" too.

[Edit: To Tamar] My relatives ruin picnics all the time, and they're quite human!

Never knew you had African-American blood in you Tamar. Those are the only folks I know who pronounce "Aunt" like "font".

Ant.

I actually made myself say it out loud, and yeah, it comes out to be right at 3!
