^ A true friend is someone who knows you're a good egg - even though he knows you're slightly cracked.

Am I the only one here who can't distinguish accents?I've always thought they all sound the same. O.o I mean, I know they don't, but unless I really took the time to analyze their speech, I wouldn't notice if someone had a foreign accent.

I am curious, would you say you have a better-than-average ability to decipher garbled speech?

Hm... I'm not sure.

I don't think I've ever heard someone with either of those.

the point I was trying to make, was that I suspect that your brain is wired to ignore accent differences in favor of enhanced error correction ability.

New Zealand–Australian hybrid, having been born in NZ and having lived most of my life in Australia. There are certain words that I tend to say in each accent: e.g., I usually say "six" like a NZer but "seven" like an Aussie. People in each country seem to think I sound like the other, and I can do both accents pretty well. But overall I'd say my accent is more NZ (Māori, specifically).

Also, I used to watch so much TV as a kid that sometimes I'd drift into generic English or American accents. Heck, I still do it on occasion without even realising it.

None. But i can combine different languages with local Swedish accents, like Chinese with a southern Swedish (Skånska) accent, some people find that hilarious.
