Well, I am bored, so I was wondering, what is you accent?

I live in Bristol Ct, and I have an accent where I don't finish words:

What? --Sounds like--> Wha?
Paths --Sounds like--> Pass
Mountain --Sounds like--> Mounten

...Etc, wha is yours?

I am a Jeannois (a Quebecois from the Lac-St-Jean), so I talk french. A fast, nosey french with a lot of english words (less than those from France, though), and a lot of words like "crisse", "calisse", "siboire", "tabarnak", "esti" and such...

for the most part i think my english is fine. but i still have a slight japanese accent when i speak, causing me to mispronounce some words sometimes. and mess up my grammar as well

That doesn't really happen to me much, but I have this strange habbit of when I type "LMAO" i usually say "lah-may-oh" which is what the letters sound like if you pronounce them as a word.

My accent is a typical Aussie accent (I have been told by one person that its very strong, but every body else tells me that it doesn't, so I'll believe the many over the few).

A real Aussie accent is different to what most people hear on TV, they always seem to get the way we use words wrong.

We speak very similar to how English people speak, with a bit of American thrown in to the mix but we tend to speak a lot faster and use HEAPS of slang, eg. G'day = Good Day or "Its going to rain" would be said like "S'gonna rain".

Anyway this is getting a bit long so I'll wrap it up there

Yeah I do a bit of that too, being a teenage male I have the natural ability to communicate with grunts and other noises to other teenage type people, why use 100 words when one simple grunting noise will get the job done!
