What's your favorite accent?
Being of Irish and Scots extraction, I love both of those. I also think a Hungarian accent is dead sexy. You?

Of course being married to a Dutch native colors my judgement.

My whole family is dutch. All the guttural phlegm noises had me crawling up the wall when I was a kid. Like fingernails on a chalkboard. I guess it's not so bad as long everyones speaking english. ;)

I wish I had a good Boston accent. All I have is a slight southern one though. I hate it.

7. pretty much all of them
I love accents. Although sometimes the deep south and the Boston one can get annoying, depending on the voice.

12. Definitely British. I notice that I play Brit reruns to relax
like Kingdom, As Time Goes By and even the Jane Austen productions when I can find them. I think that's how I "heard" a lot of the first books I read as a rugrat.

20. My favorite American accent is Tennessee. Very sexy when a woman speaks it.
My favorite foreign accent is probably Irish or Scottish.

29. My husband is English, so obviously I'm partial. :)
I love an Irish accent too, and as far as American accents go, I love the Boston accent.

38. Scottish accents and women with southern accents
One is hereditary and the other is a weakness. :D
