Samwich or Sandwich?
I had no idea I had an "accent".
And I'm not talking about an American accent to the Hungarian people. I'm talking about a an unnameable accent to the other American students.
Who knew?
Not me! I mean, you got the New York accent, the Boston accent, the southern accent, the midwest accent, the Maryland accent (and I don't say "warsh")...but people can have their own accent?
Whatever my accent may be, I think it's one of the coolest things I've learned about myself. I mean: I have an accent! Isn't that awesome?! Apparently I say my o's like a's. Like instead of "mom" i say it more like "mam". Meh..whateva!
Also, I was told that I don't know how to say "sandwich". I mean, I guess I just never realized that I replace the "nd" with an "m". I think that's kinda funny. I must say though: I've been speaking for 18 years (give or take)...and I was never informed before that I say sandwich wrong...I am around these people for less than 2 weeks, and they have no problem telling me. I know this is going to be a great 4 months :)
Sooo...I just thought I would share with all of you that I have an accent! I bet you do too! At least you do to someone :)

thats crazy talk! you don't say "mam" nor have i ever heard "samwich" except in jest!
oh lina, how i wish you were right...
but i tell the truth! i say "mam" and BOY do i say samwich...
Some girl in Vermont told me I have a southern drawl. It pissed me off at the time, but maybe it's true, since I think you talk like me. I guess there's a Bowie accent hahaha
Matt!! I didn't know you read this! Yeah, I don't know what it is, but I think it's kind of cool :)
