i am kind of baffeled by the "american accent", seeing that i havent heard anyone in the states using proper english i could agree with this but how can we limit it down just to an american accent when there are so many different variations a dialects throughout the country. listen to someone from staton island and then listen to someone from texas. i would say by listening to someone you could easily put an american tag on them but as for a common nation wide accent i just dont see it.
