This Australian troper got a girlfriend through his fake Geordie accent. I had developed the Brit Accent over a month for a street performance character, and ended up convincing all I spoke to. Including an incredibly cute girl who was so impressed by the fake accent that she decided I was a person "worth knowing". OH HAI relationship!

This troper's girlfriend, who is also a native of Michigan, actually does a rather better British accent than Madonna without even meaning to. Or having been there.

This Michiganian troper does all kind of BritishAccents; from good to bad, from classic to low-class, from well-known to rarely heard on television.

This troper, believe it or not, unintentionally. Australian-born, Australian-raised by Australian-born parents but everyone I meet tells me I sound British. Including an actual British girl!

Don't worry. Us Brits get the opposite all the time. But usually from Americans who have never heard a real Brit speak, to be fair.

This troper, again, unintentionally. Israeli born and raised to a Romanian dad and Argentinean mum, never been to the UK (as of this writing), sported a natural English accent from the age of 11 months onwards, fooling Americans and Brits alike. ("You're from London, aren't ya?")

This troper has known Americans with British-type accents that have never set foot in in the British commonwealth. Including one girl from California, of all places.

This Tropette is writing a JunjouRomantica Doujinshi, and her AuthorAvatar (Aki, or autumn in Japanese,got the name out of a How to Draw Anime book) is American, but lives in London after she completes Oxford Med. She is in Tokyo to observe the effects of a meningitis drug, and is staying with Usagi and Misaki. Occasionally, she (Aki) goes into "British Mode" #QUOTE# Aki: (speaking English) Okay, I'll come to work tomorrow (hangs up phone and walks into wrong bedroom at wrong time) *Adopts Btitish accent unintentionally* GOD SAVE THE QUEEN, MISAKI AND USAGI ARE BUGGERING!!!!

This troper often speaks with a fake British accent. At first it was on purpose, because it's fun, but more and more she finds herself doing it without trying. It comes in handy sometimes, as she's something of an actress, but it gets her some weird looks when not onstage.

This troper, who is from America, can sometimes pull off a convincing British accent; usually after watching a lot of Series/DoctorWho and/or MontyPython

This troper apparently has a fake British accent. He wishes that it would go away (and that his voice would sound to other people like it does to him), and has no idea where it came from. At least one of his friends thinks that he does it intentionally.

Done intentionally by this troper, as part of a running gag that he is a "were-Brit," and thus turns British under the full moon.

This troper and his friends decided one time, for no other reason than we were bored to start speaking with British accents while we were walking to meet some of our friends. We got some strange looks, mostly because this troper is black.

Which is odd, since black Brits aren't THAT unusual

They're not, but cultural ignorance tends to paint Britain as a white monoculture.

Black British comedian Stephen K Amos has parodied this effect, he said people in New York, especially Harlem, insist "his voice does not match his face".

Both this troper and his brother had their mother's Scottish accent when we were little and although we lost it as we went though school we still give certain words British pronunciations to this day.

This troper wishes to master a British accent. He's unsure how close to that goal he is. It probably stemmed from going to London for a week.

One girl who this troper particularly don't like and get along with well told one of her friends that she would talk in a British accent for the rest of the week. She was Russian. Oh, and she failed, and ended up with everyone hating her for that time.

I met a dude from New Hampshire with a heavy British-sounding accent. He once had English roommates who mistook him for a Brit. He occasionally slips into a "standard" American accent.

This Troper has fooled some Brits since she frequently binges on Doctor Who or watches videos like 'Charlie the Talking Budgie'. Generally she goes for a mix of estuary or 'commoner' accent as one Brit she met called it, and {{OopNorth}}. Sometimes people will mistake her for Scottish or Irish, and one Brit thought she was Australian, to which she replied, "Nope, 'Whovian'." Her British accent is better than Peri Brown's 'American accent'.

I remember at band camp, this one girl who worked in the kitchen staff faked a British accent for the first, like, two days of camp, then switched back to Ohioan for the remainder of camp one day at lunch. For no reason at all, I think.

When this Danish troper speaks English, it's usually with a faint American accent. When she spent a week in London, she didn't speak anything else than posh-British. It didn't exactly help that she was reading Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice"... She remembers greeting a servant at a restaurant like this: #QUOTE#"Good morning, good sir! It's a grand pleasure to see you here this lovely morning. Could me and this fair lady-companion of mine please order a pair of cheeseburgers?"

It was as ridiculous as it sounds. This troper and her friend laughed their ''arses'' off.

I do this accidentally. I spent years doing Gilbert & Sullivan, and while I don't really sound British, I do apparently sound like a Brit who has been here long enough to almost but not quite lose the accent. Nobody ever believes that I'm a Mainer, born and bred.

This American troper visited Scotland (sp. Edinburgh) for three days (at the end of a business trip to London). The locals were nigh-unintelligible at the beginning of this time and completely understandable by the end. I suspect if I'd stayed there much longer I would have started talking like them too.

This editor (who will remain anonymous for obvious reasons) is an Anglophile from Maine who insists on using British terms and spelling and puts "London" as his location for message boards, just because he wishes he could have been British. As luck would have it, he also naturally has a British accent for some reason. Essentially, the British equivalent of a weaboo. I know that's pathetic.

Similar to the above Tale, this troper is a ''highly'' unpatriotic South African who has been in love with Britain from an early age and has been using the accent for so long that it's become almost natural, though I've still to pick between cockney or vaugely posh. The worst part is probably that I've never actually visited Britain and my familiarity with the accent comes mostly from watching so much British television. I know that's even more pathetic.

This tropper from California has a natural britsh accent that was there all her life despent never been to Britain, probably because all she really watches is British shows.

This troper was born and raised in Texas, listening to nothing but southern accents, but didn't talk until she was four- at which point she spoke with a perfect British accent. It took her two years to grow out of the accent, and only after her family moved to Wisconsin. (She claims to this day that it was her rebellion to the southern accent, which she still has troubles understanding.)

This troper's boss is Canadian born but his parents are Brits. With most people he speaks like a Canadian until his parents are around and then he sounds like a bad impersonation. He says it doesn't help that he's lived in different parts of the world like India, Cambodia and yes, England and he messes up all sort of 'Canadian' pronunciations.

This troper does it '''unintentionally'''. At least, she used to, but she does it for fun now, and everyone's used to it.

This troper started doing it for fun. The accent eventually became easy to slip into, but it kept going - started turning on unintentionally, then got to the point where it would not turn off.
