I'm just asking because before I moved to England I kept hearing English girls love American accents, and vice versa. Yet I don't seem to get any of this "are you American? Awesome" reaction.
Must be my face :/ |

I think we are so used to hearing American accents of all sorts on the telly that they are no longer a novelty. In fact sometimes I don't even notice that someone is speaking with an American accent  |

I like different accents and I really like meeting people from different places. Some accents are better than others.
Q, how do you upset a Canadian? A, keep calling them an American.
Q, how do you upset an American? A, pretend you've never heard of the city/state they are from.

I'm from arkansas. I gotta say that British men do seem to notice, and like, American accents. And I've had a few similar comments from the ladies, too. |

Lol, I've been in Britain for over a decade now so it's eased a bit too more generic American moist of the time. Until someone pisses me off, at which point it changes midword back to a raging southern drawl. Which men seem to think is very 'cute'. Completely ruins my rant, when that happens.  |

"I'm just wondering. Do English girls actually like the American accent, or is that a stereotype? "
Let me say first...I am not English...errrr I guess my opinion has no relevance to the thread...but (there is always a but) I will butt in and give my 2 pence worth...I like individuality and voice, tone, accents are a person's make up! If I understand what you're saying then all is good!  |

"I generally like American accents, can understand deep southern drawl, recognise various Californian ones and some north eastern ones. Does the op still have his accent? Any problems here? "
I do have my accent. I'm from San Diego, but not as strong as it used to be. I've been told when I get annoyed a few "english accent" words come out. I'm totally oblivious to it though. |

Awesome is some really irritating , gut churning word that people under 25 have taken up through watching cheap American imported programmes.
I'd die if someone over the age of ( well adulthood ) said awesome. |

I don't like the Americanism 'flavorsome'. Or 'gas' or 'trunk' or 'windshield' or 'stick-drive'. Ironic, as I really like American cars - well, from about 1950 to 1970 ones anyway. Oh yes, and 'hood'  |

50's to 70's cars? Like the 67 impala, 68 Shelby GT 500, dodge charger, just to name a few? American muscles are only good in America though. Driving in England is horrible :/ |
