What I found interesting about it is that my attraction for that woman fluctuated up and down to the tune of her many accents. She got Toronto WAAAAAYYY off though (At least I hope so!) so it leaves me questioning the accuracy of the rest of her accents. Her Torontonian sounds more like Wasilla, Alaskan. | ||

i've gotten better since moving to a bigger city that gives me a great exposure to accents - but i am from a small town with 99% canadian-born white folk, where you never heard accents at all. | ||

I thought about this kind of thing often actually but there is really no way of accurately explaining it. | ||

but seriously i can not tell a typical aussie from a new zealander by accent... so many new zealanders in melbourne and majority of aussies i've met do not speak like the chick in youtube vid... only the truck drivers and occasionally some country people do. pretty weird country. | ||

I use it when I'm talking to my parents then switch automatically to a kiwi accent when talking with everyone else. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singlish It doesn't really count as english because it's a hybrid between different languages, but the different tones when speaking it are distinct and unique so that's the kinda accent part of it. One of the thing i used to hate is Singaporeans speak singlish to me and i will be confused half the time in the conversation. | ||
