    see by uk standards i sound somewhere between 'glos' and 'posh' and you wouldn't normally write that in eye dialect

    Ah that's really leanin' into it.

    Well done Tachyon.

    Anyhow my accent's not so hard to distinguish from the American baseline. Bazically all non-initial or terminal S'z get buzzed out to the point where they bazically become z's, and ya just leave the endin's off of words that end in "g" cuz let's face it no one really likes G that much. And ah, you add lotsa pauzes to yer words and make sure ya really lean into yer E's but really pull back on O's and U's. Call a group of people "y'all" and yer just about all set, the only other thing dependin' on how hard you wanna go on it is ya can mix in a bit of German too and just say ja instead of "yeah", ja?

    you also can't describe anythin with just an adjative, ya gotta say it's somethin-ish.

    funny-ish, tasty-ish, ya get the picture.

    Not sure how to write my native accent, but I can always write another accent relative to my own:

    Ahh told ya don't tuhch thaet daern thieng!  (actually exaggerated a little; Engie's Texan accent doesn't quite sound like this)

    ...well actually come to think of it I might be able to.

    well acchuolli cum too thinkuhvit I maiit be abul too.

    (see all of those "uh" sounds?  They are evidence that American English is a lazy pronunciation.)

    I used t' pronounce "daddy" as "deddee" 'cause that's how the word got transliterated in Cantonese

    other than that, it's kinda nothin' too unique - like, just your usual Californian voice, y'know?

    I usually don't.

    Except for, "gonna", and, "mah", I don't usually transcribe my Utah accent.

    I'd say more on it, but nah. En' ah'm not goin' tuh take the effirt tuh transcribe. Ah du' wanna.

    It is very hard to write my accent phonetically, you see, with its glottal stops. It would make me seem ignrnt.

    (Tldr; my accent is hard tuh transcribe, en' ah fear bein' made funnuv f'rit or soundin' stupid, soh Ah am n't gonna usually transcribe it in mah postin')

    Mine is hard to write phonetically because, being from Ohio and all, my accent is pretty close to what Americans would consider "standard" anyways >_>

    Sometimes I pronounce things the way they're spelt to be funny-ish

    Sometimes I need to stretch the pronunciations to make them more different

    sometimes i deliberately say things with consonants that are silent not silent.
