What accents (I hope I spelt that properly) do you find
either annoying or funny. Californian "dude" accent can be VERy annoying, ESPECIALLY when people try to impersonate it. "My Name is Earl" made me laugh at the Sweish accent, and Groundskeeper Willie can make me laugh at the Scottish accent. Altough, I shouldn't complain, I talk faster than Eddie Murphy. |

I find it rude that people make fun of kids with accents.
It's not their fault the just are from a different country w/ a different language. Like today this spanish girl was trying to say the name Deon (pronounced Dee on) and it came out Dee lan. Then all these kids started mocking her. I'm like shut up it's not her fault. And some other kid was saying this girl from Iran was stupid so I told them to back off that she was really smart which she was. I can't beleive how people can be so prejudice ![]() |

Irish mother, irish father, irish grandparents, and has never even been to England in his life, yet he speaks with an English accent. It's not natural. it's just plain weird. |
