points at JM and AD.
Love JM, I do, but his accent is flaky.
Maybe I've always been here.

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

I rarely notice if someone is doing a bad USian accent.
I don't think Mel Gibson can do a convincing American accent...

AD actually is one of the few times I noticed a bad USian accent attempt. FWIW.

There are actually a lot of Brits (and Irish) that do great American accents.
Glenn Quinn.
And here I thought Minnie Driver was doing an atrocious Brit accent on Will and Grace a few weeks back. Fake or not, it was painful to listen to and sounded very affected.

But JM's UK accent is better than his US one. What the hell is that?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Bad American accents tend to have too much R.

Hello! I must be going.
I'm with ita. No offense to the Californians on the board, but some SoCal speak--the sorta mumbly bland type--bugs me after a while.

I haven't heard anyone speak like JM here yet. Perhaps I haven't been close enough to Modesto. But if a Brit spoke like that, I'd mock it as a terrible fake US accent.
