Question: I have a splinter deep in the sole of my heel. So far no luck at all getting it out.
My grandfather told me his grandmother's folk remedy was to wrap the affected area in onion slices for a day.
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But you didn't. What sort of friend are you?
Well, the whole T thing could have been a tipoff for you.

Anyway, speaking of audiobooks, there's no point in an audio cookbook on casette, right? I wonder if my grandmother has a CD player.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I consider the whole T thing a failure on the part of America, more than an accent as such.

Um. OK.
Seriously though, your accent sounds almost entirely American, except here and there around the edges.

Which means that I sound either funny or correct. Hmmph.
Also from listening to the audiobooks I've noticed something about my recognition of accents -- if they have my consonants or my vowels, it's hard for me to tell them apart.

My sinuses are all on fire. I blame sarameg.
Or my dehydration. could be either, really.

Mostly you just sound more precise than most Americans do. Due to the generic American accent being slightly mushmouthed. As you may have noticed.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And some random orange fish.The Garibaldis, sarameg? Loves them fishies.
Or my dehydration.Is it the plague? I am much with the too dry sinuses of fire. And the overly gooed sinuses. I have no idea how they are coexisting.

You knew my vocab before you heard me speak, though. So other than the precision (which was the correct side), people who aren't familiar with my word choice can think it's funny--I've gotten that feedback as often as precise. And one or two pronunciations of "little" or "butter" send some people into hysterics.
