    I've been told on different occasions that I have hints of different accents. I'm really not sure how

    I also like Californian accents; very easy on the ear

    German still does beat all, although I couldn't name a specific German accent

    My first impulse was to say that California doesn't have an accent, then I realized this probably means that it's the same as Washington.

    Californians trick you into thinking they are hot, you hear them and think, hey I've heard this on TV from hot people. But then they are really fat

    Just the careful pronunciation and the "properness" is so appealing

    I like my accent because it is pretty clear and easy to understand. Unless I mumble.

    See, in San Jose I feel like a giant, because every mall and street is full of wondrously slim, petite Asian and Latino people

    I don't think I have a preference really. I think anything outside the usual drawl is appealing. Acadian accents though are pretty sweet.

    But as a girl I completely fit in with my lack of self-esteem

    a guy with low self esteem is more problematic

    Girls, it's virtually expected of us

    A southern American accent is just so awesome. I imagine that's an imense generalisation.
