Nah, my RL accent is a pliable generic American TV accent that turns slightly more Californian when I'm hyperactive, but gets a really hard fricative edge when I'm annoyed (which is frequent). I also pronounce all my "ing" endings.

Mine is in German I can't understand, but I think it's talking to me about pies or something related to pastry. Or war. Pastry or war.

My voice switches back and forth between Manjula and Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. Manjula tells me to do good and Apu tells me to do evil.

I've been told IRL that I have an accent, because I pronounce "milk" and "pillow" as Mel-k and Pel-low instead of Miiiilk and Piiillow. I just think that's silly, an accent should be defined by at least 3 or greater slight variations of dialect or pronunciation.

With all the constant fighting and screaming and bickering (not to mention that droning undercurrent of whispered threats) who can make out accents?

I... I just... don't know.

Mine is the sound of Christopher Robin realising he's grown up but still can't be bothered with times tables.

Mine, unfortunately, is usually the same as my IRL self-dialogue.. Again the generic American TV accent, plus whatever little cultural bits might've been picked up in, y'know, Kansas. It gains a vaguely southern Twang when I'm particularly panicked. I'm not sure why.

I have the same problem with milk you do, though oddly I pronounce pillow the way it is supposed to be.

I also have trouple with words like quarter, corner supposedly come out like querta and quorna or something like that. I'm not a dictionary writer.

I've also annoyed people, because apparently I tend to pronounce when as win insted of as wen.

I also have a problem with the word Chicago. Though I have no idea how to write it out.

To make matters worse, some have said I have a slight southern drawl at times, and sometimes a slight hillbilly accent as well, though these tend to be less pronounced in me and only noticed in places like Chicago, New York, and Washington D.C..

With all these combined do I fit into one accent catagory, and if so from where. I think I travel too much.

My inner voice sounds just like my outer voice, though it flips between sounding like a sane comforting voice to an insane paranoid mad scientist all rolled in one voice when I'm excited.

Doesn't this really depend on which of our multiple personalities are dominant at the time? :eek:
