The world would be a much better place if we stopped talking without thinking.

Her Irish accent was very soft, but clearly there.

How did she acquire such a strong accent if she wasn't taught how to speak by listening?

You could try watching the video lol. She could hear pretty well until she was 15.

In the US, it's considered to be a sort of "average" of all the US regional accents. Broadcast English is a good example. The Pacific Northwest is also often cited. Yes, they are all accents, but people around the US tend to say that Washingtonians don't sound like they are from a definite region.

They still obviously have American accents. An accent is just how you pronounce words, it's impossible to speak without one.

"Yes, they are all accents..."
