jshdjsadh I can imagine. I do have an accent, I've discovered after meeting a few of my flist, and I can recognise the lilt/brogue in certain words, but it's not very strong. I don't have a Cork - county or city - accent at all, much to many people's surpise, since I've lived in Cork my entire life, but I use a lot of Cork phrases (putting "like" at the end of a sentence for no reason at all, for example). It took me years to forcibly pronounce the gs at the end of words, too. I pick up accents very easily, though - I prounounce an awful lot of things with a Japanese accent from watching too much anime too. Case in point: I pronouce Abel with a Japanese accent from watching Trinity Blood too many times, and when I was talking about it with a few people from college, they were all, "... Who?" That was sort of embarrassing. -_-;

It could be worse: I could have a Dublin or Northern Ireland accent, two accents I loathe and which make me twitch. And, yes, going to Dublin when the voices of a good chunk of the population will drive me batshit insane is fine logic, I know.

Um. Sorry for the rambling. I think I talk too fast for voice dictation anyway. :D

And. Hmmm. I'm working on your fic right now, and I'm all gleeful and excited. ♥
