I don't have a noticeable or interesting one. IIRC the closest thing to mine is the great lakes accent.

if you came here people would notice your accent

because you have an accent

thats what an accent is
the way people talk where you're from. there is no fucking default setting that somehow doesn't qualify as an accent

I didn't say i didn't have one, only that it was relatively plain, at least compared to the accents of where i live.
>>
>>71672716
I live in Northrhein-Westphalia. It is an artificial country in Germany that was created by the Brits. It forced the Rheinland with Westphalia together. We don't get along.
>>
>>71672794
there are no 'relatively plain' accents because there is no 'normal' accent to compare it to.

I love when people mimic australians it's always with the dumbest bogan accent.

Add some slurring and a "cunt" or two and that'd be Ozzie.

>>71672347
I grew up moving around a lot. Before the age of five, I had lived both at the southernmost and northernmost points in the country. As a result, I never developed any distinguishable dialect.

People tell me I sound neutral.

>Go to Texas
>People don't comment on my accent
>People surprised when I say I'm from Canada because "where's your Canadian accent"

Do Texans just not have an ear for accents, or is the Canadian "accent" just a meme and indistinguishable from most American ones?

meh
Rhinelanders are much worse than Eastwestphalians
>>71673471
Das Klischee ist das Ostwestfalen nicht miteinander reden, zum Lachen in den Keller gehen, nur einen Gesichtsausdruck haben und dass das Leben dort deprimierend ist.

Oh, I DO have an accent, it's just that the rest of the Spanish-sphere looks up to it and tries to imitate it.

North Rhine and Westphalia were put together long before that.

This. Or much rather, the dialectal borders aren't the same as the national border. You probably speak something close to "General American" standard pronunciation.

Ontarian accent is the most normal sounding accent in the world.

>>71672590
I can say the same about the Midwestern General American accent, and you can refute me as much as I can refute you.
>>
>>71676677
Even if you could argue that it is the clearest, it is in no way pleasant.

Pretty much all American accents suck.

True, but I was refuting his point of having "no accent".

I have a Midwestern accent, but it has some southern, Rockies, and New England influences.
>>
>>71672849
Sure there is, there can be the perceived neutral within a dialect. Great Lakes Midwestern is generally considered plain or neutral among the other accents within the North American dialect of the English language.
