What is the... 'Normal' accent

[Biseinen]

How can you say you don't have an accent? Everyone has one, you hear yourself family, friends speak it everyday you can't tell the difference.

No idea what the Leicester accent is like, but when I wen't to Cornwall last year this family from Leeds thought we were Geordies.

Yeah, most people assume they don't have an accent. That everyone around them, they have the accents and you're just 'normal'. Well like you said, there is no normal because everyone else to everyone else, has an accent so it rules out 'normal'.

Edit: I've heard Miami, New york, maryland and arizona accents and they all sound 'americany' and all the same with that "Lyke omg" thing youn see on American TV programs... [Shudders].

Everyone has an accent.

Its like asking 'Whats the normal fingerprint?'. You dont think you have an accent because its all you've ever heard. Americans and Canadians do pronounce things funny, you just dont notice it.
