One thing I have to tell everyone here...
You (we)
ALL have accents.
You're only fooling yourself if you think otherwise.
Me? I have an Irish accent. People from Ireland can generally discerne it's from Dublin. People outside Ireland would not, but would at least hazard a good guess as the country.
Why the urge to deny what's part of you? You're accent is nice, no matter where you come from.
