When I was 18 I lived in Oxford, England for a year and worked in a shop for awhile. One day a customer asked if I was English, Irish or American. So either my Canadian accent was confusing and unidentifiable, or I had picked up a bit of an English accent after several months there, which made it even more confusing. I know I started talking with a slight regional Irish accent after being in Ireland only a few days.<br>

As for Americans speaking nasally, I have heard it, but it varies with the region. <p>"I am an admirer of the ancients,but not like some people so as to despise the talent of our own times." Pliny the Younger</p><i></i>
