Title: Does the area you inhabit affect the way you communicate?

I have been told I have an accent although I do not hear it. Well sometimes, but on rare occasions.

Also, I sometimes type thank instead of think.

I think it's moreso that the accent is everywhere so I accept it as the norm.

Some people say it sounds like I have a British accent (though I don't know any British people irl), some others say it sounds totally neutral American English, and most others don't even hear me talk enough to hear an accent if I have one.

I'm pretty sure that I don't have a Southern accent, so I'll go with no. Or whatever accent Floridians are supposed to typically have confuseddood;

I'd say I have a deep southern drawl (nothing compared too yours though heir Notsid)
my adoptive sister picked the southern drawl up when she used to live with us, Im pretty sure she has since I've heard her talk with one the last time she was visiting)

and it doesnt really sound like my friends have one though.
but people that I don't know have the thick southern accents

I'm pretty sure my voice isn't that nasally either. Maybe them anti-Arizona naysayers are just jealous.

From what people have told me, while I do have some semblance of a "Minnesotan" accent, it's not very pronounced. I dunno.

But you know, nobody here really says "ya, you betcha" all the time anyway.

lol no minnesotans don't say "aboot"

and what do you mean by "beg?" you mean for "bag?" if so, yeah, some people do say that. "bookbeg" instead of "backpack," for example.
