On a simlar note, talk with a genuine english accent on XBL and Americans think you're Australian.

Why would we all be obsessed with 'tea and crumpets'?

By the way, it's the English language. You speak English, not 'American'

I hail from Blackpool so I don't really have a distinctive accent. I'm just grateful I'm not from Yorkshire or a Southerner. Or Welsh.

Sometimes, when I'm pissed, I sound like a pissed-off Englishman, and I'm American.

You'd be surprised at all the accents I can do.

English were here first... americans are just derived englishmen so the true questions is "Why can't American's speak normal English?'
Also, have you actually EVER been to England or just watched family guy take the piss out of the accent that 75% of us dont have?

Tbh, There's hardly anyone who i know who speaks with the unbelievably posh british accent like the queen, and when i hear some one with one i find it quite funny. also i have never used the word governor to refer to someones name, prolly only the cockneys who do that.

I do get the odd person mimicking my voice now and again though, which is bloody annoying.
