  I like the way the British pronounce "schedule". People here always try to correct me when I use the ch sound.

  As a Canadian, I have never heard anyone genuinely say 'oot and aboot'. For the record.

  Some people from London and Essex who pronounce "th" as "f" or "v". I find it quite endearing, haha.
  
  -Fank you very much!
  
  -Happy birfday!
  
  -Your faver and brover are wankers.
  
  I absolutely love the way people from West Country speak. Although not too many young people from that region of England have the accent these days.

  Do you use the word "eh" at the end of every sentence like this?

  People from Maryland, especially from Baltimore and surrounding areas, sound quite interesting.
  
  Maryland becomes Merlin
  Baltimore becomes Balmer
  
  And many other interesting features.

  In Appalachia, hair is pronounced "haar"
  
  On another note, Appalachia is actually pronounced as Appalatcha.

  Most metals end in "ium" so that's not really a strange way to pronounce "aluminium."
  
  strontium
  cesium
  osmium
  germanium
  
  etc.

  I enjoy a Scottish accent or an Irish accent, saying anything ...very sexy
  
  And FYI.
  I am Canadian
  Dont say EH, or Aboot, hoser, etc
  
  the only sub dominate accents we have (after our english which is almost the same as regular american english) are Quebecois and Newfoundlander
  we do have sub accents like the states such as Ottawa Valley accent (myself to a mild amount) and variations from the first nations groups in the north.
  
  
  this is a tid bit of knowledge for all our friends abroad,
  especially you Yankee doodle dandies!
