Now, languages are expected to be English only here.

My favorite accent is that Brooklyn area accent. I have a crappy southern one and can't stand it. Even if I changed my accent, though, and yes, there are classes now for that, my voice is still hideous. Even I don't want to hear my voice.

I wish I had that picture of the bunny with a pancake on his head, because I have no idea what you are talking about and I have no idea what I am talking about either.

No southern accents allowed, and obligatory shame and self-loathing for having any Southern ancestors in the family tree. I got the memo.

But apart from that, I have no idea what the OP is talking about either.
