Well, my malware protection blocked the site due to a trojan. So I did not proceed. But I am western NY state all my life, and I guess that is my accent.

It probably works for the US because that’s where it was designed for.

Okay, yes, I think so.

Western; got mine right.

Love their accent Marg....just chatting to an old school friend of mine now living in Ontario /

Really dumb question but do I have an accent because I am Canadian? Well, yes, I do pronounce words different from the States but I didn't think of it as an accent.

take it from an outsider...you do have an accent. for the most part I can tell a Candian accent apart from an American one... simply because you pronounce certain words differently ( if you didn't do this it would be hard to distinguish between a generic US accent and Canadian)

Do you remember the story of David Bieber? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bieber The Florida resident, on the run for murder. Came to the UK claiming to be Canadian, shot and killed a British police officer. His accent was the giveaway that ensnared him.

Midwestern; grew up in Iowa.
I do try to speak correctly; like wash, instead of warsh.

Enjoy!

Grew up in Brooklyn, NY but moved to the Midwest decades ago. Still speak like I never left Brooklyn.
