Re: Favourite Accent?
Do we have to be restricted to nationality?
It's just that it's a bit misleading to say "an English accent" for instance when in fact there are dozens of different accents within England alone, and many of them sound nothing alike

For it is certain that Ireland hath had the use of letters very anciently and long before England; that they had letters anciently is nothing doubtful, for the Saxons of England are said to have their letters and learning, and learned men, from the Irish.
