Another nonregional American accent here. It's impossible to tell where I'm from unless I put some California Girl in it.

I do have an accent, but it's not distinct. I've had people ask me if I'm from Michigan, North Carolina, Canada - never from my home state.

It's the way I say my Os. I can't seem to fix it.

I bet it's as distinct and unique as the accent of the voices you heard in your head.

Ironically, that was also the year I smoked pot for the first time. Tried it 3 times and decided it is not for me. Swinging was a way to get my physical needs met and it turned out to be the best cure for my then poor self-image, thank you ex-wifeabuser! and that's when I was introduced to the BDSM lifestyle which is how I met my wonderful husband!



I'd be game - I know I said I'd be happy to host one in TN once we get moved in - 15 months! My husband has it down to DAYS!





Does the absence of any accent count? I speak like a TV or radio announcer. It's impossible to guess where I'm from, only from where I am NOT - and you still might be wrong.
I think Ms. Annie is going to have to be real careful in 15 months about yelling "Go Yankees!" That might not go over too well where she's moving to!

My English is also pretty non-descript. I was born & lived in Israel until I was 3, moved with my parents to South America and lived there for 2 years (spoke excellent Spanish I'm told), but ultimately we came to the US and did a somewhat typical Brooklyn-Staten Island-New Jersey route. No one was ever able to pin a particular accent on me.
