no desu, it's never really occurred to me.

i live in tennessee but all my family is from kansas so i pretty much have a neutral accent, and no one really comments on it ever
when I was a kid I learned most of my English from American games and movies, so my accent used to tend more towards a northern usa accent than to a British one. then, when I was around eleven or twelve, I got this absolute retard of a teacher forcing us to speak with a really posh English accent. my first time in England I got laughed at every time I spoke, because I sounded like a stuck up fucking snob.
a year after that I discovered that for our oral exams we were allowed to speak with whatever accent we liked, long as it wasn't dutch, so I tried my best to sound as american as possible from then on. sounds better anyways
our school try to make us speak with posh english accents as well, which is dumb cause we talk like orcs
>we talk like orcs
exactly, most people here end up with this weird mix accent of Dutch and RP as well. there is no reason to teach 'em this retarded accent that is these days only used by a minority of the English speakers. sure, they done invented the language, but they're falling into irrelevancy. teach kids general american english or something
Reminder that DC is technically the South
Ah, the joys of language classes.
If Bethesda set a(nother) Fallout game in the South, what would be the best region?
Houston.
