Accents are brilliant. They make us interesting!

Mine gets MUCH WORSE when I'm mad or drunk.

Cornbread? You mean cawnbread.

German here. Learned British English in school. Went to Edinburgh/Scotland. A whole new world of how to pronounce words.

That would be cornpone.e
Zahnradfee
Haha, yes. I always think I speak more or less High German and then I hear myself recorded and it says SAXONY all over it.
swamprott
I sometimes get reminded playing online games. When someone says, "goddamn Hank Hill where you from?"
CinnamonToastShrimp
I like cornbread.
motokeith
I grew up traveling as a military brat, no real distinct accent. My cousins in Kentucky told me I sound like people on TV.
rnugget
same here. :(

My wife's grandma is from rural Tennessee, and only uses voice dictation to send texts. Turns out Siri isn't great at interpreting dialects
DolleryDoos
Oh hell, I still have a hard time saying rural correctly and I haven't lived in the country in six years.

Born and raised in Cali. Moved to Omaha. They say I'M the one with an obvious accent. No honey, I just know how to say Tortilla properly.
Mayyybe
Torrrrrrrteeyaaaaa! Roll that Rrrrrrrr baby!
Jyokage
It should be mentioned that they aren't wrong. I know that I sound like an extra from Bill and Ted.
eathotdog
I live in MN and plenty of old folks can almost properly pronounce jalapeño, jut they say halapeeno instead
Jyokage
My Ma was from Montana, but she loved taco trucks. The looks they gave her when she tried to say things like lengua...
Mayyybe
Oh, she likes lengua??? I couldn’t do it, my Gramps swore by those tacos, and I’d sweetly pass on them ..
Jyokage
We used to raise pigs. So we had a "meat is meat" mentality.
kikimo04
Some cunt once told me I should go to speech therapy to get rid of my southeast tx accent, I now use it as my super power-
kikimo04
If you think I am stupid just because of the sound of my voice, it makes it so much sweeter to pull the rug out from under you.
DangerousNoodle
I used to get made fun of so much that I learned to completely hide mine. But if someone walks in with an accent, oh boy does mine show.
GinTea
Same. Also when I have to explain something extensively
Becker37
Born in Texas and raised there until I was 8. When I moved people would comment on my accent so I tried real hard to change it. Only a few

Words now have that southern twang

My dad's side of family all Jewish New Yorkers, so I grew up with a thick NY accent. My school didn't like how I talked so I spent (1/2)
NobodyIsHereAnymore
All 6 years of my grade school in speech therapy so speak more "normal" and unlearn the accent I basically was born with.

Aussie, moved to America. Through the mask a chick asked me if I had a southern accent. I said "Real southern". I'm a long way from home
Canofminus
I lived in MA till I was 14, and then Las Vegas for 28 years. I cringe so hard when I hear my west coast accent. Fucking upward inflection.
DarkwingDuc
My accent gets thicker the more I drink
TattooedTaurus
It always does and I’m in Oregon but Missoura family. Break out the fiddles, banjos and beer ??
SeedlessBanana
I know that feeling, living in a small country, I didn't really think, that my accent was strong (it isn't when compared to others), but ~
SeedlessBanana
when I left to study in Uni in a different city, I found out, that most people had trouble understanding me, so I chose to speak English
SeedlessBanana
During classes (we had some foreign classes as the uni is rather internationalish) just so I wouldn't need to repeat myself again and again
jrbaconchee
Cornbread over here like “don’t drag me into your dumbass pronunciation of words”
ryukochan
It’s probably that stupid sugary yankee “cornbread.”
Odmanra
The one with or without actual corn and jalapeños in it?
mooniestoner420
Okay, no. Sweet cornbread is the BEST. Hush ?
TattooedTaurus
Ok y’all need to stop making me hungry. Now I want ALL the different cornbreads. Especially jalapeño ?
SweetMystique
Reading this comment just hours before Ribfest. The one time of year I get some good ass cornbread
ihopedforbetter
We have a ribfest! You in Indy?!
SweetMystique
Nope east coast of Canada
ihopedforbetter
You leave sweet cornbread the fuck alone!!!!!!
ryukochan
Oh, I will. You can keep it! ?
marthafarquar
Bird set off my security camera but I could hear some guy with a really thick Scottish accent talking just out of shot, realized it was me
TheOldSchoolisBack
Lots of folks revert to dialect when they get agitated.
Raynor112
I've lived in fife my whole life, yet I was asked by a person from Lithuania if I am from somewhere else, I don't have an accent? apparently
SpeedBeetle
My Scottish accent has made living in the Netherlands difficult.
twfx
Got stuck in a Cancun hurricane with some Scots/Northern English folks and I had to “translate” to our Mexican hosts. In English!
yall00aint00right
This is a brilliant mental image.
iPostDogs
Are you me? Forget I have a Scottish accent living in the US until someone points it out, then I feel like I'm "och aye the noo"
ExplodingRobotColon
Mackem originally but lived over half my life in US. Forget sometimes how much my accent stuck around, it sounds very different in my head
BabeAfett
Hmm, I'm gonna call bullshit. The Scotsman I know lays the accent on thick at the bar to get into panties, and it works.
CrimeBrulee
I emphasize my accent sometimes when I'm trying to blend or code switch, doesn't mean I remember it every moment of every day.
ExplodingRobotColon
Also, my accent gets thicker as I drink. I didn't believe it until a friend recorded me when I was piss drunk one time - now I'm a believer
iPostDogs
Accent gets way thicker when I'm back in Scotland, wife can barely understand me.
SonOfKazar
Canadian here. We make fun of the southern accents, even though we also sound like dumbasses.
Iwouldbenick
A candian was the first person to point out I have an accent. PA mixed with Pittsburgh makes for a strange accent.
mooniestoner420
Shit I make fun of my southern accent all the time ?
TheOldSchoolisBack
As long as you say “sorry” every time you make fun of me, its fine.
DoctorWhoandDallasCowboys
*soory
SonOfKazar
Sure ill say sorry, but I'll still shove yer head in a snowbank
pattyymac
I knew a girl freshman year from NC who didn't have an accent at all, then she drank have a beer and became Dolly Parton. It was cute
Causeitsmadeofmeat
I worked with a guy from Quebec who, three years after learning english, had no accent. One beer 'an 'e talk 'ow 'e use' too
delecti
Similarly, I've got a friend from Oklahoma who doesn't sound like it, but his "Y'all"s start coming out when he gets excited.
TheOldSchoolisBack
When you hear an “all y’all” you know shit is getting serious
DoctorWhoandDallasCowboys
Y’all’s, y’all’ve, y’all’ll… there’s so many y’all conjunctions
pattyymac
oh my god I'm an idiot... she drank HALF a beer.... UGHHHHHHHHHH
sittinsomewhereprobably
I totally figured it out from the context, no worries!
TheOldSchoolisBack
I can dial back my southern accent to fit the occasion, and lay it on thick when it suits my purpose. But it never goes away entirely.
oopski3
Same with the Boston accent
gingasnapdragon
Same. Born and raised in the South, moved to the west coast. You learn to modulate according to the occasion.
yall00aint00right
I speak like a news broadcaster until I drink alcohol. And then I am pure southern belle.
brobinson2001
Dude I've known for over a decade is from Louisiana. I never understood how a weld could look like ham or dog shit. Til about 6 months 1/?
brobinson2001
I saw it spelled out as hammered dog shit. I worked with him for 3 years & never caught what he was talking about 70% of the time.
Jamesstin
That just means youre faking the accent entirely. See kern county California
TheOldSchoolisBack
mooniestoner420
I completely agree. As someone with a southern accent, there's no "dialing it down" or "laying it on thick". ?

My new York accent only comes out when I'm angry.
theGrantimus
Wait, so New Yorkers aren't always angry? /s
kholli
Ha! I tell people the same thing for my southern accent. And my language definitely shifts a bit too.
Milkashake
I sound slightly British when I get emotional (hyped/angry etc.). I'm a Dutchman who had 3 great British English teachers for 8 years

He is??? I didn’t know!! I thought he was the Italian stallion from NY! My bad …. Thank you for schooling me

Adaptable accents have their uses--it's a natural empathetic reaction. I lost a bit of my rural US "twang" when I went to college, and it's

mostly gone when I speak in a professional setting. Comes back immediately without realizing it back on the farm selling hay.
