not to ruin it for u guys.
but i think this is a bit of a sensitive topic.

i personally am from a background and speak one of the languages mentioned, and i sort of feel offended my language is being mocked.

mods? care to close the thread down?

American's speaking Hebrew.

the worst. why? because all the others are an american who's genuinely trying to talk a new language. with hebrew, every kid who learned an hour a week in jew-school thinks they're fluent, and they try to speak hebrew to me, and they can't put a sentence together or or use words/sentence structure that aren't directly out of the torah. Its like listening to every 5th word of a shakespeare play, and that of course ignores the actual accent, which makes the language sound like english but with gibberish words.

it's so bad i just switch to english right away.

"oh, you speak english?"

you think i'm retarded? do i look like the rest of these arsim?

Any accent where "wash" is pronounced "warsh (with the harsh r)". That just annoys me.

Yet another myth.... I have never heard of any French not liking the American accent.

I feel like such a total snob here in the south and I really don't want to. But the accent and all those "I'm fixin' to go to the sto'" and stuff like that just drives me batty for some reason.

A lady I work with is from East Texas and she said to me yesterday (at work): "Bein's that y'all are fixin' to ...[etc.]"

I vurped.

Since I went to college and away from my parents my cajun's been suppressed. When I get excited/whatever I talk super fast it definitely comes out as in most accents. Of course, my girlfriend now is super cajun so I've been coonassin it up.
