Accents

There is a show called Accents on WRFL, but this isn't about that show.  It's about actual accents, defined as "a distinctive mode of pronunciation of a language, especially one associated with a particular nation, locality, or social class."

I was thinking - what are the most popular accents?  CNN Travel says the sexiest accent is Italian, but that makes me think of Chico Marx.  TheCelebrityCafe.com says it's English, as, apparently, did most of the girls in my high school.  (What would they say if I were in high school now?)

Australians won this poll (they were doubtless thinking of the Bruces).  I guess there's no consensus.

The United States is apparently so large that it merits its own list of "most charming accents."  (Spoiler alert: the number one is Georgia.)  The same thing with a Time magazine poll, which calls the Southern accent "most attractive."  Interestingly, it's also (according to this) the fourth most annoying.

Are you American?  What accent do you have?
