Only having spoken with you once, I'm still going to have to say you do have an accent on this one.

 

[BreakfastSurreal]

Everyone thinks they dont have an accent... I dont think I do...but people tell me otherwise.

[loonymoony]

I purposely pronounce backwards as "backerds."


And the one thing I find most annoying is "frontage road." It's an access road, damnit!

 

[BreakfastSurreal]

here in texas they are called frontage roads. thats definitely a regional thing, they were access roads in other places I've lived.

I bet me, Clare, and V all sound the same to each other considering we are all from the southern region. lol
