Accents

[Harlequin]

I sound vaguely British and pronounce my long i's like an Australian person. Which is bizarre because I have no British ancestry.

Ancestry doesn't determine accent.

my friend in Washington insists I say "ten" oddly, but I'm convinced that has more to do with the nasally property my voice has rather than any accent.

I'm from Texas, but I don't sound Texan, or at least I've never been told that.

I have a good 'ol "Minnesotah" accent... though you wouldn't catch me saying "you betcha".... that's just weird.

My family says I say the word "tour" weird. I say it like "I tore a page out of a book" my family says it's "two-or". *shrugs*

Southern Californian accent here. This slightly differentiates from Northern Californian in that we pronounce "leisure" lee-zhur and "measure" meh-zhur, whereas Northern Californians pronounce them "lay-zhur" and "may-zhur". Otherwise it just sounds like standard American, despite what any surf movies may tell you.

Plain old standard American. :/

A mix between German, Irish, Russian, Aussie, and a hint of Spanish.

I'm from houston, Texas... and i say 'ain't', 'gonna', and a lot of other southern-y things too, and i say my long i's like a's sometimes... so... southern, i guess?? although i hang around my grandma a lot, so i sometimes have some british-ish tones thrown in.
