I mean, if "normal" is an accent then sure. It's like calling straight a fetish, or white a minority.

The first time I realized I have an "American accent" was when I was reading the Alex Rider series as a kid (teen British spy who works for M16) and it described a character as having an American accent. Which in retrospect is a super lazy description because the U.S. has tons of regional accents and some of them vary pretty wildly from each other. I imagine the generic "American accent" as that fake mid-Atlantic accent that no one actually has but it's used in older movies and radio broadcasts.

Everyone speaks normal from their frame of reference.

The idea that your normal, is not an accent and other people speak weirdly, is just a form of elitism.

But we're talking about sounds, not a position in three dimensional space. You can't apply quantum physical laws to language.

The generic accent is the west coast accent.

What accent? Seems to me most programs and movies that imitate British accents just go for the London accent. Cockney or the 'Queens English' come to mind. Sean Bean is more my accent. Not a shock when he's from my city.

Edit:

Seems more like a chav and that's not exclusive to accents.

Isn't it normal to talk to yourself? My imaginary friends seem to think it is so idk.

They do, they're known for talking to themselves.

Ive heard people from Nebraska have the most neutral or non existant accent for English speakers. Wouldnt know if true though only person I know from there is my mom but she was raised partially between Texas and the Carolinas.

Replace "the U.S." with "Britain" and you'd still be right.

One of our friends is from Wales and we took his cat in when he moved back home. Sometimes I'll look at Mittens and say "ello gov'na" just in case he misses his real dad

When you say "from Wales", do you mean he once stayed there overnight at a Travelodge?

Pretty sure its the midwest (outside of Minnesota, which is more Canadian) since I have never seen a word pronounced differently in movies/tv, which is the standard
