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?

Lol, my friend is from Long Island and has a pretty New York type accent and someone told her that her accent sounded British... pretty weird.

I on the other hand have a cross between a Connecticut and a New York accent. So CT people think I sound New Yorkish, and NY people think I sound Connecticutish... lol.
