I think the generic american accent is what i have, so i really don't have an accent, i just say words the way they are usually said... so no/ i don't have an accent.

I come from London so obviously, I don't have an accent. It's everyone else who has the accents.

I notice my accent constantly and always have. I don't understand how anyone cannot notice theirs since I've always observed my own.

My American accent is a mixture of a generic one and a Pittsburgh accent (Pittsburgh has its own slang for words called Pittsburghese).

Absolutely, especially since I've been in uni with people from away. The way I say "door", "floor", "four" etc is funny to them and that I say "Maaam" not Mum ha (very Welshy-ish accent).
