So the guys who'll take care of the tree got here...

And asked me about my "English" accent.

I do not have an English accent.
I do not have a British accent.
I once cornered a pair of English ladies and asked them.
They said I sound very American.
I grew up in New York.
My dad was Texan.
I DO NOT HAVE A FOREIGN ACCENT WHILE LIVING IN THE US!

So why on earth do people think otherwise?

I occationally get that, despite having been born in New Jersey, and spent time in Philly, in Oregon, and in Texas.

I asked someone once and he said, "Well, the way you pronounce every word all the way through. And you're so formal when you talk."

So that's mine.
