Self examinating question (albums, American, track, quote, suicide)

When you read posts from the Brits do you read them applying the accent? I found myself doing this a few times and couldn't help but laugh at my own stupidity.

I find myself reading **********EDITED *********** posts in a whiney baby noise.

That seems to work.

I realise I'm reading with an American accent when a typical American turn of phrase is used.
The most obvious case is savannah. It's not too difficult imagining her posting on a laptop, while sat on a front porch of an evening.

Also adidasss. I visualise him posting in a lonely flat hunched over his computer, eyes ringed red through lack of sleep, two to three days beard growth and occasionally breaking away from his PC to catch the odd dvd movie...alone.

OT: Hmm, I do that sometimes but usually after I've seen a British film or TV show, them I'm all into that frame of mind. Mostly it's all Californian...:|

Also, most people here have good grammar so it's hard to pick up on their particular accents, they'd have to write phonetically for me to be completely into their accents...:|

Also also, when someone points out they speak with a posh accent I tend to read their posts accordingly...:|

...

...

What what?

Not really, just a mild New England accent that I grew up with.
