But after years and years, I still have to consciously decide to pronounce it as "sihr-up" solely for the sake of pronouncing it correctly... and come to find out in this thread, I've been expending the effort to be incorrect?

Goddamnit.
But with accents, there is no correct or incorrect... I pronounce it "sih-rup." Sih as in sin and rup.

Accents do nothing for me. I don't care who it is or where they are from. I know for some people they have like turn ons of different accents but bleh. I don't have some sort of special weakness to a particular accent.

I like to hear other accents..I get sick of the same old southern draw twangy twang crap. Its cool to hear other people talk sometimes and be reminded there is life beyond b.f.e.

I get really excited when I hear accents from countries I've been to. It just brings back really good memories and feelings.

My favourite accents are South African and Australian. They're so cool.

I don't think I have an irish accent, but whenever I go to england, everyone comments on it. It's amusing how relative to your friends you ccan be relatively accentless, but without the stronger comparison you suddenly have more of an accent...

My Limburgian friends told me I sometimes sound really limburgian.
Which is awful, I think. Good to know that they sound waaaay more limburgian than I do.
(I'm not from limburg)
(go google if you don't have an idea what I'm talking about :D)

Oh yeah, that'd have me absolutely confused. A world gone topsy-turvy.
