I don't :sad:
I'm from the midwestern US - famous for not having any accent at all - nothing

of course I might say 44 a little strange but that comes with living in St Louis

No matter where you're from in America, all of you lot have the most obvious accents in the English speaking world to me.

Welsh & South African stick out more to me. :shrug:

I grew up with a close Welsh friend and there were plenty of South Africans at my high school, so while they stand out, they sound entirely natural. Same with any other accent from the British Isles.

US accents, though ... listening to Americans is about the only time I think "you have an accent", if you get what I mean in the distinction between that and listening to a South African.
 
I have a bit of a muddled accent, as I'm a citizen of both Canada & the US, and spend a good chunk of time in both countries. When I lived in Ireland, people would always ask me where I was from, since I sound different than a Canadian or an American.
