I've neva' 'eard a cocknay awccent, sp'cif'kly, but I luv th' yorkshaw one m'self. Heh. When Darkett is acting specifically silly (or when I call him "Victorian" XD) he goes all "Jolly wot wot cheerio toodle pip pip don'cha know" on me. Darkett: I say, old chap, don't be so hard on the ol' raven, wot! He can't help if he loves his bloomin' posh, don'cha know. Hmph! *looks down his nose at me very "englishly"* Here he goes again. ~~~ To add my on-topic discussion: Darkett, like Rookie, is overly animated around the mouth. He can smile, frown, laugh, sing, and talk without looking very odd.

Hmph! *looks down his nose at me very "englishly"* quote] Lol ;D As Im from Surrey, thats what Im supposedly meant to talk like, but I have so many Cockney friends and worked in London for years that Im kinda semi-cockney, semi-posh, and Mox has the same accent. Mox - "Yeah....Wotcha Darkett, knees-up-muvver-brahn, and all that!" Maia - "Eh?"

Er... Supposedly I'm supposed to have a texan accent. I do, but only when I'm talking to my dog. Other than that I have a... normal one? Though in Montana we got playfully mocked by the members of the church we were working at. "Ya'll are fixin' to go to Dairy Queen!" is what they said... So we came back with "You all are about to go to Dairy Queen." To us that sounds funny. Rano said that the only difference he could hear was that Montanan people have higher pitched voices...
You know when you think about Texan accents, you think about the traditional 'howdy'. Well, that's not how it is... It's more like 'hadie' (h ah dee) I only know of 2 people from where I live that say that on a regular basis. We all say 'hi'.

Ahh, here in this corner of Washington we all have not-accents. Like the only weird things are we say 'pop' instead of soda.......and say Washington like 'worshington'. Which is really weird, but oh well. That, and everyone in Washington speaks fluent Starbuckaneese.
Tyb: Caramel macchiatto?
Ali: Double shot! hahahahahhaha....

..................................................
Yeah....
We all say soda or pop or coke. We say everything every way possible, but we all understand each other. 'cept the people east of the Trinity River. They talk with such a heavy accent Rano has to tell me what they are saying. (I've never really met someone from there. Wei saw them on TV after the Columbia crashed.)
Though I'm proud to say that in my little town we speak fluent prison lingo. 'Have the whistles sounded at the Walls yet?' 'Nah. Wait 5 more minutes. The shift should be over then.'
Take a guess as to what is going on in this conversation. ;D
No, really. I'd like to know what people think is going on.

Oooh! Ooooh!!! I know the answer! The first person is making an enquiry as to whether the whistles have sounded at the Walls Unit, right? And that person wants to know because the whistles indicate the status of the prisoners in the Unit, right? You told me about this, I hope I didn't spoil it for everyone.

I read somewhere that half of the Starbucks in Canada are in British Columbia, and half of those in Vancouver. Seriously, there's one every three blocks.
I don't have any special accent, though I love to imitate them. Someone at school actually asked me where in Australia I was from! Though accents are an odd thing--if someone from Englad came to North America, we'd say they have an accent. But if someone from here went over there, they'd think that we had an accent. Peculiar stuff. Darkett: 'Ey Frankie, get me a 'ot dog, willya? Ah'm sta'vin' ova' hea'! Ah mean cumon aready--Ya takin' fureva! New York? Where to next?

Well, it's different for us all. BTW, Silvix uses her mouth and it never seemed odd to us.

I love anime too. ^_^ Yeah, Zedith usually talks telepathacly... but he's sang songs before... and he opens his mouth.
Not just like, 'I'm eating food' kinda talking. Real pronouncation type talking.
