Alright, I've just wondered, do you think that (us) Americans have accents?

^^ Meh, they don't really even play any UK program here. We get BBC America, but thats basically it. We get some same stuff from Endemol (Big Brother, Deal or No Deal) I see you guys take some ABC shows. (Lost, Desperate Housewives. Expect Grey's Anatomy next..that's a hit)

And no, I don't have that 'slow-thinker' voice. ^_^ I may have a bit of a southern accent, since I say "y'all".

I don't get sick of it, basically because I don't hear it often.

In terms of American accents, I don't have the exposure to determine which accents are which, but I compare the softer accents rather than the brash, brittle accents, if you understand!
