apparently I do. - The Amber

Only when I'm drunk. - Akiva

I do not, everyone else does. - Joe "Looptid" Pierce

Apparently, yes. (Jamaican) - Shey

...I don't think so. Do I? - JA Castillo

Not at all. - Rochelle

I'd like to modify Akiva's comment (and he'll disagree with me here) to say that his accent comes out when he's drunk or when he's tired. - Rochelle

depends on who you ask. Mostly, no, though. - DJF

You do sometimes Pea. - The Amber

Sometimes. edit: Actually we all do, all the time. - Yolanda

No, but I do have a bit of a mix in the regions where i lived, so sometimes people can't figure out where I'm from - which can be fun. ;) - Cassandra

No. Not even a bit. - Faraz Mullick

I don't think I do. or rather, I have the NW non-accent accent. - holly #ravingfangirl

Vat are jeu talkink aboot? - Sparky, lurking

Obviously yes. :D - AJ Batac :)

Depends on who you ask. - Jeff P. Henderson

Sparky has no accent. - Rochelle

When I'm angry and yelling, I kinda do - Shevonne

My parents are from Memphis and it used to kill me when I'd go to visit and hear my cousin's accents. When I would point it out, they'd say "You're the one with the accent. You sound like the TV news anchors!" I do admit that I sometimes have a latent country black accent (if that make sense), and sometimes I default into my gay accent. And in some instances, country black = gay accent. - Derrick

I don't? I've been told I have a gay Canadian accent before. - Sparky, lurking

My wife has a hint of Canadian. When she's mad or talking about food, in creeps a bit of Southern. - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift

us New Yorkers do not............... - HAPPY VALZ DAY

My accent is a mess. I grew up in north Louisiana, so I don't sound like Justin Wilson. My dad's a minister, and my mom was the head secretary at my high school, so I don't think I even sound like other north Louisiana people. Plus, I've lived in Dallas for about 20 years, so I've picked up bits and pieces of a north Texas accent, too. - ha3rvey ($10 HUGS!!!)

Yes, southern (Tennessee) tempered by time in Maine, ohio and Arizona. - ellbeecee from iPhone

Everyone has an accent. It's a relative thing. To native speakers from your same region, you're unlikely to have an accent. But everyone else will perceive you as having an accent. - Spidra Webster

Sparky, you definitely have a gay accent (although I don't really consider "gay" to be an accent but rather more a speaking style or something) but I don't hear Canadian. - Rochelle

I do. But here's the interesting thing: I was born and raised in Hong Kong, and when I first came to America for college in 1999, I have this experience: Americans think that I was from the UK; British folks think that I'm from America; West Coast peeps think that I'm from New York; New Englanders think that I am from California; Hong Kong people think that I was raised in America... - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

I agree with Yolanda. I think someone somewhere in the world will pick up on an another person's accent. A speaker having "no accent" only means the listener is acclimated to the nuances of the speaker's native language or dialect (e.g., the listener being a native speaker themselves). - April Buchheit from iPhone

And, yes, I'm sure I have an accent to somebody. - April Buchheit from iPhone

@Pea I have problems with "ch" words, and I have to force myself to say words like "library" properly. So I know what you mean - Shevonne

Me? Nope. You all do, though! - WoH: Minding her Botts

Alberto Manguel speaks several languages, including English, French, German, and Portuguese (not sure about this one). But he says that he learned all of these languages from non-native speakers (he learned his mother tongue from a nanny, I believe). So he speaks all the languages with an accent. - DJF

Yes. It's called "Not Quite Gay". - tehKenny

I speak Tagalog with a terrible American accent for which I always get made fun of. My Spanish is scarcely better. - Victor Ganata

Only if I try speaking something other than English. - John (bird whisperer)

Only when I leave the country. - Mark Krynsky

I'm from California, so no. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Not really. There are a couple of words here and there. - Jennifer Dittrich

Is Teh Kenny saying he has a Bi accent? - Sparky, lurking

Gay accents. lulz. But, you know... it is there for some gay men. I've never noticed a lesbian accent though. :D - Yolanda

Slight accent.. more of a speech cadence issue, really. - Fossil Huntress

Yep. - Mary Carmen

Also, you and MWM have heard me on the phone. Did I have an accent? :) - Yolanda

I *do* accents very, very well. - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift

I've been told I have one...apparently either Amish or Australian or Northern (whatever that is) - Sir Shuping is just sir

A thick Kiwi accent.... similar to the Aussie accet only better ;-) (oh, and yeah everyone has an accent) - Alistair (alpinefolk)

Mine changes by which region I'm in and who I am around, within days, sometimes hours. Normally, I am mostly Midwest, some Canuck, some Southern (NC), with words and phrases from various places. - Michael W. May

I was born in LA and lived there until I was 6, then moved to Minneapolis ("Minnesnowdah") and lived for over 15 years. I am now back on the west coast but I never picked up the mid-western accent. - Nicholas Kreidberg

tricky question Derrick. Well-played, sir - Chieze Okoye

I, of course, would have an accent to everyone from another country. A lot of people here in Victoria have picked up that I have a Western Australian accent but I wouldn't be able to pick differences between states here in Australia. When I traveled to the US I got mistaken for being from the UK a fair bit. - Penny

Northern California accent with a few words slightly showing where my dad's Russian/Japanese/English mashup and the West Virginia accent of the woman who raised me rubbed off on me. - metalerik

an upstate New York accent. Relatives from NYC say I tawk funny. - Mike Nencetti

i dont think so, but everyone that comes here tells me i do, ;) - chaz2b

Don't we all? - Bren

I have a Jysk accent when speaking Danish and a tiny bit, Bette says sort of mid-western when I speak English. - Rasmus Lauridsen

I have an Anaheimian accent tempered by certain NY/NJ (father) vowelling situations and all that is 85% suppressed by a decade and a half in Western Canada. - Micah

(So no, not really) - Micah

Of course not! Just kidding. It's midwestern, I guess, but sometimes a tinge of southern from my mom. I don't have the Missouri-specific or St. Louis-specific accents, again probably due to my mom and watching too much TV. - Jandy

California/Engrish - Rodfather

this is great Derrick. thanks - metalerik

My accent isn't particularly distinctive because the CA accent has been disseminated throughout the US via film and TV. I was born and raised in SoCal (Not in the San Fernando Valley & not by the beach so I don't have those accents). Occasionally I get people guessing I come from the South, which is completely wack. My parents were both born in PA and met out in CA. My mom was the only one old enough when she did so to have absorbed any PA-speak. I like the English language so I use vocabulary some people find odd. I'm also an accent sponge so if I've recently been around someone with a strong accent, it rubs off on me. Those are the only reasons I can think of why someone would ask if I came from the South. - Spidra Webster

I grew up listening to my Mom who has a strong Engrish accent. Grew up in a mostly hispanic town. Went to college with stoners. Had friends from different parts of the US. So my accent is all over the place. It's constantly changing. At one time, someone thought I was Canadian. Not sure how that happened,. - Rodfather

Don't we all? It's English for me. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Oui! - Morgan

I have a California/Hyper-conscious of my enunciation/refusal to use slang willy-nilly/attempt not to contract words too often accent ;) - Bren

Subtle to non-existent (as reported by a few continental US friends of mine), unless I'm with some local friends and then the pidgin english becomes more prominent. I do have a thing with accents though and can mimic a few pretty well. - Arlan K.

:) - Johnny

US Neutral / Newscaster, though folks from Boston thought my "accent is cute". Or, at least, I think that's what they said; there may have been peetzer and bee-ah involved. - Neal Krummell

Nope. Everyone else does, though. ;-) - lris

Yes. So does everybody else (at least in English). Even if mine is close to what's called "unaccented" American (Pacific Coast/Announcer's English), it's still an accent. - Walt Crawford

I've got an accent in several languages. You could listen to me reading a Dutch poem: http://www.morgaine-lefaye.net/elsewhe... - Irma Vermaat

Or a French poem: http://www.morgaine-lefaye.net/elsewhe... - Irma Vermaat

In English: http://www.morgaine-lefaye.net/elsewhe... - Irma Vermaat

Italian: http://www.morgaine-lefaye.net/elsewhe... - Irma Vermaat

Swedish: http://www.morgaine-lefaye.net/elsewhe... - Irma Vermaat

Or even Armenian, which probably sounds awful, hehe: http://www.morgaine-lefaye.net/elsewhe... - Irma Vermaat

People who know I'm a born and bred Chicagoan are amazed when they hear me speak because I don't have the "Chicago accent". I have that lovely all-purpose Midwest accent. As I tell people, I didn't grow up next to Midway which is the primary geographic source for the "Chicago accent". - Katie

Mine is fairly neutral I think-- central Canada but I assume to non locals I have an accent. - Brian Sullivan

in English I think mines pretty neutral. In Spanish, though, I have a pretty heavy Panamanian accent. :) - mikepk

I have a funny Turkish accent:) but for some reason, people find it cute and cool:)) - Petek(UCB)_

I have several. - Steven Perez

YEAH MAYTE - Mo Kargas

ROBOTS DON'T HAVE ACCENTS. - Steven Perez

Got tonnes of em :) - Mo Kargas

Yeah, Mo can switch from normal to "king" - WoH: Minding her Botts

Yup - Mo Kargas

I don't have an accent, it's all you other people that have one! - Glenn Slaven

From what others tell me, yes. What do I know, I am from New York. - Louis Trapani

Depends where I am. Here I definitely do. - Louis Simoneau

on the internet you have an accent? - DJF

No matter how hard I try to hide it, I definitely have a slight Boston accent. Apparently, it gets especially heavy when I'm drunk. - Penguin

Yes, a little bit of a southeastern Ohio accent, which gets more noticeable when I talk to my friends & family back in Ohio - Michael Hocter

Yep. And like Michael H., it's stronger when I talk to friends and family. - Rollin' in the LB

midwestern I think ... a touch of Iowa and Wisconsin, from grandparents - hollyrae

All I know is that when people sing, even if they are British or American, they sing in a Canadian "accent" - Shey from iPhone

I do not sing "aboot" when I sing. The only person I've heard who sounds kinda Canadian when she sings is Keely Smith. Who's from Virginia. - Spidra Webster

A friend of mine once told me I speak American Patois. I'm influenced by so many cultures and it finds its way into my speech patterns. Like tiffany, around Caribbeans, I might sound like one (sometimes not even around them). Around Nuyorican's I might sound like them (and similarly maybe not around them). Overall, Lynne d speak though, is free of a NYC accent though. - Lynne d Johnson

You tell me - RAPatton from iPhone

@Spidra we don't say aboot! - Shey from iPhone

mine is a mashup of midwest, southern and western accents - Marco(aureliusmaximus)

yes I do:-/ xoxo - ANJELINABANANA

Little - ★ Soner Gönül

Some people say so. :) - joey

Ai ev an accent very marcate! Du iu ir it? - Alessandro Marocchini

My normal accent is mainly northern NJ with a touch of Newark ghetto (no Bloomfield Guido, though), and I am a rather rapid speaker (southerners and foreigners may have a difficult time understanding me at first), but there are other subtle influences from across the US, due to my having done a lot of traveling when I was younger. I also have this uncontrollable, unintentional habit of picking up other people's accents when I listen/talk to them for more than 20 minutes. For example, stick me in a room with someone that speaks English with a German accent and soon I'll be temporarily sounding slightly German, myself. Same goes for any other accent. And if I spend too much time around the accent, it will become a permanent subtle influence in my own accent. This is a short clip I did for a DonationCoder podcast about first computers, awhile back. (it sounds kind of awkward, I was a bit nervous) http://appsapps.info/stuff... - April

When I speak french in Montreal, they say I sound Scottish! When I speak French to french-speakers from France, Belgium, etc.they say I sound Quebecois. I'm told, by American friends, that I sound Canadian in English. Growing up, because my Mom had an English accent, I had a hint of one... I learned to hide that pretty quickly. - Brent

A gentle hint of a Brummie accent, which gets stronger the more I drink / emotional I get. - Pete

yes, a french accent in English. varies. - Richard A.

Fairly neutral (as far as British/English people go), with some superficial hints of a Middlesbrough accent, despite not hailing from there. Some folks still ask me if I come from the US, for some strange reason, though. (I don't)... - Tyson Key

shut up! why's everyone say that, I totally don't - The Real sofarsoShawn
