Aug 21, 2008 - lol. someone actually said that i sounded like that. i don't think so though as i've been livin on the mainland now for a few years and my accent aint as thinck as it used to be.

BrolyFan23 Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - my son i was born in carbonear, nl and raised in heart's content, nl and thas where most of me family is now. i've been on the mainland fer a while now so the accent might be a little thin compared to what it used to be. i was forced to slow down and stop usin alot of slang as no one up here understood me.

Aug 21, 2008 - Just because his accent isn't extremely stong dosn't mean anything. To me he sounds proper because I'm from the northern part of NL. I guess It's just how you look at it.
