Tell me about your accent

Yeah,I've seen a sunshower,...not in Virginia,...and yes I have referred to it by that name.

Then again I'm not from one of those silly states that calls carbonated drinks pop or fizzy drinks

@Let It Swim: You know who she is. You have my respect.

Haha, thanks.

British RP, occasionally starts to slip into Dutch when I try to be polite to people

What does RP stand for?

Received Pronunciation. Half of my accent.

Ohhhh.

I still don't know what that means.

Well, for some reason I have a Mexican accent. Northern Mexican, which sounds a bit loud and sing song.

My english pronounciation could use a lot of improvement, but I seem to remember the ladies like accents.

It's what is commonly referred to as "The Queen's English".

I see.

Taking this from a few pages ago.

To be more detailed about my accent, I've been dealing with an inherited speech disorder since I was little, and while I'm getting better at it, it still have a bearing on my speech. Think a tint of Indian and Filipino with a male teenage voice of medium-low level.
