I've been a bit obsessive about accents recently, and have been completely annoyed to my forum friends (sorry everyone!) about it, so I'll come here and post some stuffies about it. And yes, stuffies is a word, so don't start contradicting me. This post will be about the New Zealand accent, which is the one I use. Although I don't know I use it, because I live in NZ and we all sound the same to ourselves, except for voice tone....Anyway, let's get started.
I'll have some YouTube videos, and some of my commentary on such things.

Kiwi accents are apparently.......er.....weird? I don't get that, personally. I think American accents are far weirder, although, then again, I can't really hear myself or other kiwis speak in said accent. All the accents of the people above me sound perfectly normal, although others would argue.
And I really can't be bothered writing anything else, sorry.
Apparently, the 'Zealand' in New Zealand isn't a word. Sorry, folks, but you're going to have to do more to get us off this planet.
