    Default Accents: Most Attractive, Coolest, and Strangest.

    This question is directed mainly at my fellow native English-speaking TA-ers (US/UK/Aussie/Canada). But I suppose anyone can give input.
    What do you think is the most attractive accent to hear in English? (For me, the Italians win always)
    The coolest in English...? (I think Germans and Austrians have cool accents in English, but Russians are up there too.)
    The strangest/funniest in English...? (Sorry to my fellow Finns, but I think strong Finnish accents pronouncing English words sound funny. I always hear them say "Finnis" instead of "Finnish" and the natural lyrical flow of Finnish mixes strangely with the flat sound of English. Granted, its interesting to hear.)
    My favorite emoticon is:

    "Sitä niittää mitä kylvää."

    Miten menee, suomalaiset? Jos haluat puhua suomea, lähetä viesti minulle.

    I don't especially like any of them but I think a German accent goes quite well with English. I'd have to hear more to be sure.

    I like English and Irish accents. Some Southern accents are sexy. Others grate on my nerves. Minnesota accents are cute in an elfin kind of way. "Fargo" makes me laugh for that very reason.

    As for non-English-speaking countries, France, Italy, Spain and Scotland top the list. I kid the Scotsmen. I now feel the urge to watch "Goldfinger".

    The Aussie accent seems to be the coolest IMO, here though, most girls apparently find English accents attractive.

    I think the Indian accent is very nice and sexy...especially when they use words like 'bamboozle'

    all these anglo based accents are generic to me, I dont care much for them anymore.
