Omg , I just spent like 15 minutes with some guy on the phone trying to spell out an email address.
His accent was so strong I couldnt distinguish A from N....
It was ridiculous.
I have an accent too.. but man, that guy was from Newfoundland... Coundlt understand a word he said...
I now appreciate indian customer service a little bit more...
I just felt like sharing.... no other reasons...

Where are you from Patlal? I live in B.C. and have been to Ontario and Regina and I haven't noticed any really significant accents. It could just be an east coast thing though.

Im from Ottawa and my first language is french.
I know what you mean though, west of Ontario, everything sounds the same.
Then you hit Quebec where there is no english (barely) then you hit the atlantic... New Brunswick is half french half english with a weird accent (kinda like eastern Ontario) and then you go to Noofoudland and its something like this:
Elloo. Eh , my name is Ryan eh and I'm from Noofoondland. I'm abooooot tooo dooo something eeehhh
Torture to hear...

For sure. Language is an interesting thing, it evolves and mutates like species do and sometimes you get fucked up things that really shouldn't exist.

Many people like to chew and spit out a language instead of speaking it.

I'm Canadian. I work at a job where I'm constantly talking to people over the phone and they always comment on how clear and well I speak

I'm from Newfoundland. My city is pretty much half and half with horrible accents. Thankfully I don't have one. The bad accents annoy me to. I can barely stand listening to some people talk here, because the accent is so bad
