  Spanish rain does not actually stay mainly in the plain. It falls mainly in the northern mountains

 Don't you believe Young Un, Malaga, Marbella and much of the Sol is constantly under water during the rainy Season.  Mountains are very Far away. It Floods because it stays on the Plains

It's a quote from the movie  "My Fair Lady" and not a fact. He was trying to get her to pronounce the words correctly without the street accent.

I'm sure you mean "perfect American".

The Brits are the ones who speak English whether perfect or imperfect.

I'm sure you mean English spoken in the US is perfect English, as in an improvement on the Brits English.

Perfect American would be a flavor of Spanish as the population of Central and South America is nearly double that of North America.

(fyi I am from Missouri, or is dat dare Misourah, dag nagit, I aint got know idear which won is write... 20 years in Georgia ruint me)

oops, to get closer to being on topic. After living in so many different places I find my default accent is US national tv news which gets slanted towards who I am speaking to. Especially if a Southerner (from living in Georgia) or a Brit (from living in Felixstowe)

Geeeeeeze what is the Point here How did a simple question of Loosing an Accent turn into the Rainfall in Spain and who speaks the best English, Now G & G's anyone want to stay on Topic with me and answer, "Have you lost or are you losing your Accent" whilst it is Funny to a degree, I think maybe I have wasted my time in Asking 

[Reboot]

So as not to offend just the people of Britain, I have to admit, I speak perfect Spanish too...latin-americans far outnumber those on the peninsula...hehe.

I have adapted my accent depending on whom I am talking to. When I meet people from Bristol it reverts back quite quickly.That wall in your house must need re-building by now,the amount of times you bang your head there.Do you wear a hardhat?

Check back through the thread.  Notice serious replies with no likes.  Notice that attempts at humor get lots of like.  The dog that's fed is the dog that howls for more food.

Ah I see, so no point asking anything of a serious nature then EH?

I am wondering if Anyone else has noticed this in their Accents?

Lack of positive response is often a negative response so your answer seems to be no.  But I am worried about you.  In all seriousness, could this be a speech problem related to your previous stroke?  Perhaps a check up is in order?
