I wouldn't use the word annoying, but Vietnamese and Hebrew sound harsh in my opinion.

Fortunate for me and especially for hubby, I left young enough to loose it



When we hear an Aussie, I ask "would you have married me if I sounded like that" .. he refuses to answer

Some aussie accents are horrific like a chainsaw cutting into your ear drums. Not most though.

The kiwi accent is worse in my opinion.

Yah. Ask a kiwi to say "Six dollars and sixty six cents worth of fish and chips".

You put me at the top lol.



I think one of the ones that annoy me the most, may be India folk (I think). Cause sometimes they skip words or dont pronounce right making it sound like a different word. Not even the ones that are new here, those I can understand why and can sympathize, but the ones that are Dr.s or phone tech and still cant speak right!
I've come here to chew bubble gum, and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.
