Ode to Accents

Oh the glory of accents! Today's ode is to the accent. Not just this one, "è" or this one, "ĕ" but all kinds! There's the French one, and the Italian one and the Chinese one and the Spanish one!! There are so many!

But people with accents don't know they have accents. Because everybody in their hometown has the same accent! So they think everyone else has a weird accent when they do! Can you imagine? All those crazy spaniards... Thinking that we Americans have accents! When in reality, all Americans have perfect speech patterns that don't have accents at all. Everyone else have accents. But we're perfect.

Anyhoo, apparently accents make people much more attractive too. My friends are always like, "Ooh! An accent! This person is sexy because he comes from different lands." But I'm not so sure I understand the appeal. I like to understand a guy before I answer his questions and sometimes, with accents, I just don't understand them! So only SOME accents are sexy. I like South American and Southern, I think. I don't know why. Maybe it's the word "South." I don't know why that would be sexy though.

Yay for accents!
