"Dra meg baklengs i fuglekassa ditt fettehau"
You've gotten it wrong!
(dra mei baklængs inn i fuggelkæssa du ditt fettberj)

OT: Being a Norwegian, I guess I only have like the Scandinavian accent(trying everything not to sound like [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoE18IgEVf0" (title,target)]this[/URL].( "the demper"= suspension in cars)

Much of my writing(with friends) is a mixture of norwegian and english, making it difficult to understand for outsiders. But that's a plus right?
No er da vel faktisk ikkje eg som har tatt feil her, med min blanding av vest og nordlands dialekt så betyr fettehau "fittehode"

Just so you know..

I need to cut the grass.

I need to cut the grass.

I have a 'posh' accent, but it doesn't quite extend to saying grarss. And glarss. Just, generically well spoken. British btw, if you hadn't guessed.

I had some pasta at that hotel in America.

I had some paahsta (like "pan") at dat hawteyell in Uhmareuhka.

I also say "yall" a lot. Apparently, people up north say "you guys" instead (correct me if I'm wrong - I have a friend from New Joisey, and this is what she told me). I dunno, yall is just so much more natural to me. ;p

EDIT: I guess I should've mentioned I'm from Texas.

I can see this thread going horribly wrong. I see lots of Americans claiming to be accent-less. I'd say that's probably untrue and you probably sound unbelievably American to me. In the same sense that I would usually say I'm free from accent when in fact I probably sound unbelievably English to you.
Problem is I don't know what kind of accent I have. I'm from Texas, but my parents were born in Costa Rica. My dad's parents were born in Ecuador, my mom's parents in Peru. My mom's grandparents were born in Israel, and then some of us came from places like Armenia. It's a big ol' clusterfuck of accents, that I can't tell what part of the world mine comes from.
That's perfectly acceptable. It's reasonable to not know what your accent is, or not to belong to one accent in particular. I just mean the people claiming to not have an accent.
Well, at least I know which accents I don't have.

Right.. One can't really type an accent by deffinition

Maar als ik een poging zou moeten doen dan denk ik dat het ongeveer zo zal klinken. Wedden dat jullie denken dat het Duits of Deens is. ^^

Standard English for the win.

Standerd Inglish faw thuh win.

I also object to everyone claiming that Americans speak properly. The BBC accent IS standard English, and all regional accents are adulterations of it.

Before people start flaming let me make this clear, I do not object to other people's accents. It is a natural part of human culture that people in different areas speak with different intonations, but calling the American accent 'standard' and claiming that they pronounce words in the same way as they are written is plain incorrect. If the American version of English were the basis, as this implies, then people in England would speak American, not the other way around.

It seriously gets on my nerves when Americans accuse me of not speaking proper English. Listen Pancakes, the English language was developed through a mixture of Latin, French, German, Ancient Saxon and a million other languages, hundreds of years before America even existed.

I'm American after all
Pretty much this. Though I do use British spellings, simply because they are more awesome.

Despite being being Romanian (that's somewhere in Eastern-Europe -look it up), and having learned English mostly from watching cartoons as a child, for some reason I sound, speak, write, and think British! One natural-born American from New-York actually said I have a Cambridge accent ...whatever That meant.

This could be because of my fascination with Villains, or my constant strive to at-least Appear intellectual, but sometimes I found myself ostracized because of it, particularly the Accent part :(
