Well, the whole T thing could have been a tipoff for you.
I consider the whole T thing a failure on the part of America, more than an accent as such.

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

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.

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.

The goo does not coat. It only inflames.
Yep. Garibaldis. So cute and territorial. Silly little fishies.

Stupid goo. Though I am feeling much less like Death today, which is nice because I am less tempted to take my brain out with one of those Egyptian mummy making tools.
Territorial *and* there are eleventy brazilian of them too. Cute garibaldis.

Hey! Let's talk about Grey's Anatomy for a minute:
Seriously? it made me laugh. I had a flashback to my own life when Cristina showed Burke her place. Cause, dude, neatnik +slob ends in sadness and disaster.
Also, can I just say I totally agree with Meredith with the whole lots of sex not a bad thing... it's only problematic when your emotions get involved.
And for McDreamy to be all, judgy about the bar pick up thing reminded me of Tim Sandlin saying, "The way you get your wife is the way you lose your wife."
