Judging from his comments, I don't think Maelstrom even played half those Mario games.
Also, lol @ Kantor getting owned. |
I didn't get owned. He copy pasted Wikipedia!
I still say Yahtzee does not "have an accent", unless you add in the word "English" or maybe "awesome".
Yahtzee has an English accent.
Yahtzee has an awesome accent.
Yahtzee has an understandable accent.
Yahtzee does not just have an accent.

Pointing out that all I had to do to own you was copy-paste from Wikipedia doesn't help your case. 
I'm not entirely sure you're getting just what an accent is. If Yahtzee has an English accent, then he has an accent. You can't have an accent that's not an accent. Or does "accent" exclusively mean "foreign accent" to you?
Accent just means the way you sound when you talk. So whatever the 'standard' is of what people are 'supposed' to talk like could be considered "no accent" because it's the default position and "accents" are what differs from it. That's the only way you could possibly justify a claim that a person does not have an accent IMO.

Yes, an accent is the way in which you talk. WHEN qualified with another adjective. English accent, posh accent, annoying accent, etc.
When you just say "an accent", it means a foreign accent.
Similarly, when you say somebody has a brain, it doesn't mean that their skull contains a muscle used for thought, because that applies to all humans and quite a few other species. You mean they have a good brain. When it's not qualified, it takes on a certain meaning.
