The American midwestern accent is kinda what happened when every accent was thrown at every other accent, including many non-English-language ones.

Eh, I'd disagree that American midwestern is the most neutral accent. It merely seems that way to you because you are American.

You could argue that New York or London, by that logic, would have the most neutral accent because of the fact that they have so many immigrants.


Well, the New York accent is "disappearing", they say.

Any of the states that start with W are pretty awesome.

Except we have a shit-for-brains governer.

But hey, we legalized Gay marriage a few days ago, or at least overturned the ban on it. Kind of funny story about that one, the State prosecutor is still threatening to charge people who issue marriage licenses even though he'd be breaking the law in that case.

I recently realised I actually put a lot of thought in them and which accents which characters have. I realised this as I explained why I gave the big bad of Elfen High a Southern English accent. Of course, many people might not give a damn about accents at all.


No, I don't.

I don't know enough to try, in any case. I know about some accents, but from my country, and I'm not sure how those apply to the English language anyway.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination.
