Lulz, I was waiting for someone to say that XD But, seriously, they are VERY sexy. A Russian accent really turns me on. |
Press Junketeer Posts: 498 Joined: 3 Jun 2008 | English is pretty good, but I vote other. Scottish or Welsh does it for me. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2744 Joined: 13 Jun 2009 | English. I'm not sure why. It just so sexy to hear one sentence in that accent. |

An accent someone from America would have. I quite like the southern American accents I've heard myself, though its just beaten by the middle class welsh accent (not the scousy welsh one.) |

Of course however your cities are far bigger so it's not as weird, our cities are smaller can be just a few miles apart from each other and the difference between the accent in such a short distance can be staggering at times. Here's an example Leeds is only 21 miles from my town of Barnsley and the accent is extremely different. Yorkshire it self has pretty much it's own language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorkshire_dialect_and_accent. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3830 Joined: 14 Jan 2009 | What exactly is an American accent? I like the way the French language sounds, but as for accents, I guess I have to pick Russian from that list. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4545 Joined: 20 Aug 2008 | Slavic/Russian. Many lovings for hot girls of attraction-ness! Also, there's this Bolivian girl in my accounting class, and the sound of her voice makes me want to put a big debit in her assets. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 72 Joined: 3 Jun 2009 | Unlike most Americans, I love an Australian accent on Women. Spanish is a close second. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2212 Joined: 23 Dec 2007 | Just because I want it in the poll, I state again South African. Greatest accent ever. And for any girl out there who dis agrees. For any guy, well I can't think of a movie yet. So brb I guess. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 977 Joined: 26 Jun 2009 | British I suppose. I live in New England, and we don't have good accents to say the least. To say the most we have some of the worst we sound Like drunk seagulls. for example we say Woostah when anyone who read it not knowing any better would say Worcester. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1868 Joined: 18 Mar 2009 | I believe my favorite accents go as followed: 1: English accents. Not sure how many variants there are, but a majority of them, I really like. |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 518 Joined: 27 Jul 2009 | On topic: I honestly can't pin down one. I like and find attractive many accents. So I'm a "can't possibly decide." |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1620 Joined: 2 Jul 2009 | British, Italian and Irish accents are my favourites. :D |

There is southern, western, deep south, traditional American (often accepted as Northern), New York, New English, New Jersey, Gangster, Gangsta, New Orleans (Creole), Long Island. I think there are even more subdivision in the central and western states, but not being from that area it's hard for me to tell. |

Infamous Scribbler Posts: 557 Joined: 1 May 2009 | English isn't an accent, theres loads of English accents such as scouse and cockney or are you thinking about the upper British class ... what we call the toffs. |

There you have it, East and West. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1313 Joined: 28 Apr 2008 | Small problem with your poll, larger countries usually have 3-5 different accents within them, in the US alone I can name 4 that don't sound like mine. I'm sure other larger countries are the same way. And Pacific Northwest isn't really a dialect, it's just how you sound when you have gills. |

Copy Clerk Posts: 72 Joined: 18 Oct 2009 | Sathhh afreeka (Afrikaans of course) You guys, there's a shitload of different accents for each individual country anyway, so you might need to be a little more specific in your answers. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 882 Joined: 19 Jan 2009 | French all the way. Now I have to go take a cold shower, preferably with Monique. |
