							I don't think I have an accent, but it's hilarious to me when I cross the boarder into Seattle and everyone has a southern drawl. Lol

 When I was in Japan a person from Australia said "Wow, I love your accent"
 
 My initial reaction was 'what? you're the one with the accent.' Of course I didn't actually say that. It was super fun talking to them.

							People from California sound just like people from Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo, etc.  No accent.  If they did, then people wouldn’t sound exactly the same despite such distance.
 People from NY just talk faster.
 
 People from Boston....”Let me get the cah”.  Learn how to pronounce an R.  Although this is only in certain places in Boston.
 
 People from MS, AL, LA, GA all have a southern drawl accent.
 
 AUS?  “Aye mate, lets throw tha shrimp on tha barbie”
 
 Da fvck u just say?
