PEOPLE JUST LOVE ACCENTS.ps. it also works for building rapport, especially with girls when you are first meeting them bc you can make fun of how they say something by mimicking it or saying something else in the same accent. even if they dont have an accent you can just go by their ethnicity. anyways enough i know i have already convinced you guys
