My wierd way of speaking English.

Chagen

I have no discernable accent, despite living in the American south. Or, I do have a southern drawl, but it only comes up sometimes.

I use English in a very odd way though. I kinda mix country-style grammar with African American Vernacular English as well. So, instead of saying, "I thought you were going to the store", I have no problem saying "I thought you's was goin' down to th' store?" I also have no problem not conjugating coupla; I sometimes say, for example, "Where my PSP be?" instead of "Where's my PSP?", or "I be runnin' outside fo' a bit" instead of "I'm going to run outside for a bit". Sometimes I flat-out use the wrong conjugation intentionally: "I don't know 'bout you, but I is/I's the leader of this group". I also have no problem using "ain't". 

As you can also see, I cut off "-g" from gerund versions of words at lot too. This is only in informal conversation, but it....it's kinda wierd that I'm a stickler for grammar and yet I talk like this in real life. Especially since I developed it mostly on my own; my parents don't speak like this.

Huh. Well, I can relate as far as using "ain't" and omitting "-g" off of certain words.

Also, no one types exactly as they speak, especially Grammar Nazis Fascists Totalitarians. Don't worry about it.

I enjoy the Texas accent.  And the Southern accent.  And the British accents.  And the South African accent.  And the Australian accent.  In fact, I'm pretty much a fan of every accent of English except for the choppy sucks-at-speaking-English Chinese accent.

I sometimes use a Texan drawl when I feel like sounding folksy.  I have been able to imitate a British accent and to some extent Brooklyn and Indian accents as well.  However, I have not yet figured out how to do Southern, South African, or Australian.  Am able to recognize but not imitate a Boston accent.

Seconding all of this.

The only accents I can imitate (well) are British, Indian, Japanese, Southern and Jersey. For some reason, when I try an Australian accent, I end up giving a British accent instead.

Oh, also, I have a North American accent by default.

I have a Juan accent. Seriously, everybody asks me whre I'm from...and nobody can guess properly. It's not as if I don't have an accent, it's just that it's a mix from all the countries/cities I've been to.

I have a weird accent apparently

"no one talks exactly as they speak"

What?

Bob

FUUUUUUUUCK I meant to put "type" instead of "talk".

My accent is pretty typical for the part of the country I live in. "For" becomes "fer" but "four" does not, etc.

I do have some weird quirks, like I use "anyways" instead of "anyway" (which has even crept into my typing, unless I'm trying to be formal). I also have certain little phrases I tend to use without thinking about it, like "right exactly now" instead of "right now" or "right this minute".

Bob

^^Sorry. :<

Pacific Northwest dialect here. I'm so much more well-spoken in text. I like to use "y'all" over the internet, but it sounds weird IRL so I have to use "you guys", inelegant though it may be.

Central Avenue

I do the same thing. "Y'all" on the internet, "you guys" in speech.

Bob

Opposite here.
