In Accents^x, American English^x

I've had some limited success with Scottish and Irish accents just from watching movies, really. Granted, I'll often start in one and end up in the other XD . Oh, guess my own dialectal background would be good *ahem*. I'm from the American west coast--grew up in the crap-hole state Nevada and...
