	Most Irritating accent Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

no korean accent? it's far superior to the japanese and chinese ones.

anyway, the one i find most annoying is the un-edjumacated ones. doesn't have to be any specific accent, but you can always tell by the way they say certain words and the way they build sentences.

even though they have precendents to do so, and think they are always right.

Any accent from the NE. Besides the obvious reasons Dan mentioned, it's that air of superiority that goes along with it. More so than a British accent, which just sounds cool and drives American women wild.

Well, I voted for the Mississippi one, provided I can include Tennessee in that group. Having been born there, I can attest to its grotesque-ness.

I also voted for the California-dude accent. The Valley Girl accent makes me wretch.

The New Jersey accent is pretty bad, too. And yes, it is different from the New Yawk accent.

My favorite accents are Australian, German (like from the Cologne region, not those Prussian types) and Irish. Men speaking with these accents automatically go up a few notches on the sexyness scale.

My favorite, being from the midwest, is that people say that there is no distinct accent in the midwest. Of course all the people that say this are (surprise) from the midwest.

Which one? I listed two. East Texan and West Texan are about as similar as Highland and Lowland Scots. GW has a western accent, if that helps. Can't think of any famous east-texans. too inbred, I suppose.

French....even the most macho frenchman can sound like a fairy with that accent....too feminine.

Theres really no such thing as a "New England" accent, much too broad and diverse to be lumped, but oh well. Maybe a bAWston accent.....I love bAWston hAHbah

A group of people that are able to unite sentiments from the north and south.

I think the reason they sound unintelligent is the inordinate amount of time it takes them to say words.

I personally dislike the Geordie accent. North East England for those who didn't know.

I'd have to go with that Valley girl stuff -> california.
Unfortunately I have crossed it, and I hated it. It wasn't only the accent, it was the whole 'look at us, we are stupid bimbos' attitude. Get some selfrespect!

Anything with nasal annyos me. Can't help it. Sometimes it's fun to hear southern accent, but most of the time it makes me mad also . I'm such a sweet guy.

If I'd have to choose from outside USA, I'd go right here where I live . We have the most crappy accent EVER! God I hate it everytime when Häkkinen gets to say something. Luckily, I have succesfully vanished my accent, I still have a little bit, but only so little that people can't tell where I'm from.

As a New Englander, I reject the idea that we're the worst Actually, we in CT reject the idea that we have an accent at all - accents are for all those wierd people who live elsewhere.

Anyway, I'll go with Joysie (NJ). Bawston isn't too bad, except when the word "wicked" is involved. I hate that word.

I also agree with Boris on the "Valley Girl" thing, but that's as much word choice as it is an accent.

Sagacious Dolphin,

What accent does Gordon Strachan (sp?) - the Coventry City coach - have. Geordie, right? That would be terribly irritating if I encountered it more than once and a while, but it's downright hilarious trying to understand what he's saying in post-match interviews. I haven't been watching the Premiership report (Sunday recap of the week in Football) lately, but I used to be able to figure out roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of what he was saying.

What about the Glasgow accent? People warned me about it constantly, but I didn't find it too bad.

Gordon Strachan is Scottish. For Geordie think Paul Gascoigne.

When considering Glaswegian think of the "Ay'U'Jimmie" "Ock'I'dun'oh" accent. Alex Ferguson is an example of Glaswegian.

I'd say all "northerner" accents. It really is the superiority deal that rah mentioned, but for christ sakes it's also a butchered form of English.

I also can't stand "Canadian" accents for very long. I heard some Canadians while I was walking around Berlin, and after a bit I wanted to run their touring bus overtop of them.

I like all southern accents, except really the Texas ones, and when any southern accent is faked.

I lack knowledge of American ones. So I voted for them all.

Insufficient numbers of English accents, so I voted for none.

I like all the rest.

It is extremely flat... I also heard somewhere that the "purest" form of English (whatever that means) comes from north-central Illinois.

He is tough to understand, even after a few years. I always watch the highlights just to try to figure out what he is saying. Though I don't find him annoying. Now that Sir Alex clown, he has an annoying accent.

East Texas! I had a roomate from Arkansas once in College. I have to say that's the worst accent. Unless you're from Texas it's really a hard accent to explain. Similar to Ross Parot's but much more twangy

So called "posh" or "society" accents drive me nuts. Full of little tittering sayings and clubby half-witticisms.
