Heh. It's not realy noticeable, unless you've spent a lot of time up there. It's got sort of a lilt to it. Maybe that's just the coastal Oregonian's, but I'm not sure.

I have a WIERD accent, because I don't really have one... I say eh, and that's about it, I think. But then, I've looked at Canadian vs American pronounciation, and I do a lot of them Canadian-like. (shrugs) I always call it Worwhatever sauce, because I have no purpose for naming it, and don't use it anyway... snrk. I name everything I don't know "thingy" "sauce sauce" "whatchamicallit" "Uh... the thingy with the thingy... yeah. That one!"
I guess I have a slap together accent. And I talk far too fast. (shrugs) Doesn't really matter to me. I'm understandable to most people, albeit the ones that can't keep track of me when I'm talking too ridiculously fast. Which IS a lot, unless I do the narrator voice. (inacts a slight Core accent)

"thingy" "sauce sauce" "whatchamicallit" "Uh... the thingy with the thingy... yeah. That one!" Heh. Do you do hand motions, too? I get in trouble for that all the time. "Hey, will you hand me that.... that... thing, with the round thing on top? <<frantically makes a pulling apart motion>> Yeah... the cup..."

Mom and I can actually understand each other when we do that too... "The thingy at the back door with the thingy" *waves hands frantically* "You know! The thingy!" (dies) I'm SO articulate.

Heh. Yup.... standing in the kitchen in my church. Someone actually understood the cup thing. I was like "How in the heck did you get cup out of that? I didn't even understand me."

I would've thought a pump bottle or a cup, I think... heh... (Grins) I'm good at understanding nonsense. It is an art.

(cackles) It's wide-spread as it is, too. Both of you do it...me and my local friends do it... "So, you know, I went to the place at that time the other day where they have the...the, um...you know, the stuff...and I did stuff."
"Really? You mean...that...that place?"
"Yup! That's the one! We did some awesome stuff."
"Wasn't that the place where they had those things? You know..." (gestures wildly) "The things?"
(flails arms) "Oh, those things?"
"Yeah, those!"
"Yup, they had those, too."
Heh heh...and the great part is, when one is well-versed in articulate nonsense, they can understand it from virtually anyone...even someone speaking a different language.

Ahem. No more whupping! ...Er...whopping! Yes. I think.
(considers for a moment)
Right...well...anyways. Heh.
The ambassadorial positions have been filled...lieutenant positions are still open...it would be rather fitting, after all, if a Padawan could also be her Master's lieutenant...makes for good business relations. (grins)

That sounds like my dad asking for a tool. "Yeah the thingy. The thingy with the ... you know, the thingy!"
The hand gestures are my mom - when she's driving and talking. Very dangerous to talk to her when she's using a knife...
