Not any British accent, I am fond of English accent. But NOT London's cockney, mind you. This person in my office is from England and speaks magnificently. Among American accents, I like Californian. When I was a kid, I loved to hear Ronald Reagan speak. I don't enjoy hearing George Bush or even his wife. I guess that shows I am not too much of a fan of Southern accent. But then, I like New Orleans accent - like the one that Ewan McGregor so masterfully used in Big Fish. I found Scandinavian accent quite funny; check out Fargo. Accents that I am NOT fond of: NY/NJ (New Joisy) Eastern European, particularly Yugoslav. CJKV (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese) Indian Subcontinent (including mine own: Nepali) Accent that I ABSOLUTELY ABHOR: Wannabe accent. There are some FOB Nepricans who like to speak English like Americans. By itself that is fine. But they muddle it up and sound absolutely horrible. Those of you who have this accent, you know who you are.
