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?

People are always telling me I have an accent, and I've never been able to figure out why, since I've never lived outside of Washington state. Mostly, I hear that I sound British, or Australian. Once, someone told me I sounded like I was from the deep south..
