Yesss
I'm not sure who you're talking to, but I heard Californians say 'like' a lot. I was looking up Californian accents the other day.
I'm Californian.
I say 'like', like, a lot. 'Hella', yeah, kind of. Not so sure about all the surfer stuff. Does calling everyone a dude count?
Hmm. I thought everyone said 'yee'. Or all of this other stuff they're saying is Californian slang.
Not online, but, like, in real life. LIKE, A LOT.
Not just like I just did but if you've ever seen me explain a conversation, instead of writing/typing 'said' like I would if I were writing a story, everyone's 'like' or 'I was like', 'she was like', etc. Dunno. Feels too formal to me if I use something else.
Like, I dunno how to say it, but like the way I'm typing now sounds a lot like the way I talk. Whenever I'm thinking or something, I dunno. Of course I don't do it when typing because it's sort of a placeholder. Subconsciously, I guess.
Great, why am I talking about this?
Edit: Oh I'm blind, it was sleepless
.
Weird you would send me that because I was recently looking up what Californian accents sound like.

Dude, if you think your conversations are bad this is how mine usually go:
Me: Hello
Other Person: No reply
Me: Well hello to you too
Other Person: Glares at me
Me: Well that's just lovely. That totally did something you see I'm now a few more seconds closer to my death. Oh wait you are too
Other Person: Leaves
Dude, my accent is terrible, I have some weird chinese accent naturally but if I listen to someone with an accent, I start talking like them

I... I don't think I have an accent...
I mean, I know you guys say 'out' weird, so I guess that would sound weird to you, but other than that I think i sound fairly average
sometimes, tho, i change my accent on purpose
just for the memes -w-
Well, I'll talk to you anytime
as long as I'm online
i don't know what socially awkward looks like online (i'm STILL a newb :P), so I don't even have the capacity to judge ;w;

I have an accent I think.
I do have a bit of county/cracker, I shortin' some of my words, say y'all etc. I talk pretty fast, but that might be a me thing. I don't say like alot, its been eradicated from my vocabulary.
I say 'ya' instead of you : Whatta' ya doin'? How ya been? Yer friend is 6'4???
Ya and Yer.
You and Your.
I do say "hella" and "wicked" but thats mostly things I picked up from online. In some cases my O's turn kinda 'er-ish' like World goes to Werld. <But its very faint.
Strangely enough if I try to do any other accent I miserably fail xD I live in Florida but can't roll my R's??? wthhhhhh-
I'm from Florida^

I'm from WV/OH/KY tri-state area, so I sound kind of like Pittsburgh or Cincinnati. I have a twang. Further south in WV and KY you get the real drawl, like my mom's family.
I lived in CA for 25 years. SF Bay, to be exact. Yes, you have an accent. It's very nasal. Nothwithstanding the slang terms (like, hella, etc), the accent sounds very upper-class.
I doubt that I'll pick up a real FL accent because I live with a lot of people from all over the country and a huge amount from Canada.

Oh okay
*looks at map*
okay, so florida is southern US
noice
my vocabulary changes too much based on who I'm talking to, I can't pinpoint a precise word choice that's weird...
I use 'well' or 'welp' a bit... 'yoof' has a tendency to pop up... I laugh pretty weird... I quote memes... sometimes I use french because I get lazy and don't want to deal with english....
there's probably more, I dunno ;-;
I can't roll my Rs for longer than japanese requires and i still can't whistle :T I went to a summer camp (as a counselor) and had 30 minutes free time every day, practiced the entire 30 minutes all of those days, still couldn't figure whistling out -///-

More People Live in California Than in All of Canada
I'm serious.
Woohoo.
Lala, you should hear me when I come back from Malaysia.
"Where got lah!"
Even just talking to my cousins almost triggers it.
Alpha, everyone has an accent :D
We say 'out' weird? Like how? OWT
According to my friend, I sound like I have a British accent whenever I say 'stop'.
Quote memes... Yasssss
My whistling consists of very intense hyperventilating with my mouth in a weird shape.
Eeples, 6'4" is TALL. Well, to a five foot person like me, that is.
Couldn't roll my R's if I tried for a year.
I'm not taking Spanish next year. Latin or French. Latin is dead, so probably French.
Laurelee, hmm. I wonder how much more nasal I sound when I have a blocked nose. Upper-class. That sounds cool. The only other U.S. states I've ever been to (on vacation) are Alaska, Nevada, and a bit of Arizona.

I know I know it was just an example xD Relax I'm 5'5 def not 6'4.
Although I guess anything is tall when your 5 foot...
I can whistle pretty well, I've learned only a smidgen of latin.
Aura is wind. Silvia [i think] is forest/woods. In fact, the word Forum is latin for public square. Aka plaza or such.
Thats all I know tho
I stg I know two words of like, 5 different languages xD
However, since latin/greek roots are common in everday words I wouldn't say nobody uses latin anymore.
My mother reading from a textbook: Sven, what does "helio" mean?
Me: Sun.
My mother: . . . . . . How'd you know that?
Me:Oh well its rooted from the greek titan Helios, he was originally the Sun deity, Apollo only inherited that after the titans defeat. You know, after Zeus struck down his father Kronos. Which by the way if you were going to ask me next, Krono means time. Kronos was the time titan.
Momentomori is a latin phrase meaning "Remember you will die" Morbid, but a little pretty.
*ahem* and uh..... o u r r p ?
