Americans generally have no accents. Does the rest of the White English speaking world acknowledge how weird their accents are?

I'm pretty sure they can pick up on an American talking

reminder to sage and report American threads

But our accent is normal sounding and easy to understand. People don't associate the way we talk with anything unique. It's almost robotic

Entering "sage" (by itself) into the [Options] field while replying will cause the thread not to bump to the top of the page. Contrary to popular belief, a sage is not a downvote, and should not be used as one. "sage-bombing" or announcing that you've saged a thread may result in a ban.

Compared to you guys, we have no accent.

Everyone knows what a British accent sounds like
Everyone knows what an Australian accent sounds like

American accents are just your general standard accent

No, they do. I hear it all the time, and theirs are especially noticeable since I don't have an accent.

We do have an accent, but it is a neutral one. It's generally recognized as American though.

Yeah, "neutral accent" basically means no accent at all.

Our accents aren't very noticeable or all that different.

They aren't as stark as say, Australian or Canadian accents

>Americans generally have no accents.
Accent is always relative. So yes, you do have an accent for speakers of other English dialects.
(The same applies to pretty much ANY language.)
>>
>>77661612
>Yeah, "neutral accent" basically means no accent at all.
Nope. "Neutral" means you have a small accent for all sides.
>>
>>77661344
safly, but regional accents are dying in the US, so we dont have any

Hanlon's Razor: if something can be explained by ignorance or trolling, assume ignorance.
And yes, plenty people think their accent is no accent or crap like that.

I was at a jobsite in Manchester, NH, and these guys started making jokes about how the environmental sensors I was installing looked like big dildos. Everything is funny in that accent.

I mean there's some people with southern or yank accents but generally speaking the american accent is flat as fuck like the canadian accent.

Compared to who? Accent is relative, Americans in general will have a thicker accent for a Canadian than another Canadian from the same city.
