When I was in Morocco, many people thought I was British, although I have an American accent. So, yes, I think it is difficult for some limited-English speakers to tell the difference b/w accents, much like I cannot distinguish a southern French accent from a northern one.

When I was in Italy we got mistaken for Brits more than once. And when I've been in the UK I'm usually asked first if I'm Canadian. lol

What's that aboot?

a psychotic is someone who just figured out what's going on

I have a Southern (US) accent. That means that, despite my decent intelligence, I will always sound like I just finished a mean banjo/fiddle session with my kinfolks.

I visited a group in Australia. They were all discussing how comforting the Southern accent is. They said it's like a warm hug. I think they had a few too many Jim Beam specials. biggrin

you're not alone..I have that too! biggrin

Some people tell me I have a strong American accent... but in the US, they tell me I have some other kind of accent now.

Really odd! I think I sound the same as I ever did...

Me too. People sometimes ask me if I'm English--not English people though. I think it's using words like "odd" instead of "hella fucked up."
