Or something similar to it. I pretty consistently drop every /h/ at the beginning of a word, as well as /T/ and /D/ (the "th" sounds) at the beggining of most words. And the, every "ing" becomes pronounced as [IN]. And I find myself using "ain't" more and more. Those are pretty standard things of vernacular Englishes though. More weirdly, in certain situations that I have yet to exactly pinpoint, I'm trilling my R's. And I'm starting to say things more in the "-ing" way, "I'll not be doin' that, I'm wantin' a cookie", which I'm fairly sure is a common feature of Scottish English inherited from Gaelic, which does the same thing.
So lads and lasses, might I be turnin' inta a Scotsperson?

GIVES US RECORDATION.
My accent is actually slightly Scottish sounding very often. Except it occasionally has ejectives, in words like "bookcase." That /k.k/ ends up as [k_>].
gonk
Also, I tend to merge /E/ and /{/. This isn't uncommon when they're merged as [E], but I merge them as [{]. So "kettle" sounds like "cattle."

So lads and lasses, might I be turnin' inta a Scotsperson? Old Utahnics: I was barn in a born but, not yesterday The Utah accent was highly influenced by the scots but I don't think scots say "ain't" because the southern Americans say that. I sometimes trill my 'r's but I usually do Uvular instead. I say "I'm wan'en a cookie, and I won't be do'en that now" Except I fully pronunce my /H/'s so yeah you could be in a way or a Utahn from Lay'un (Layton). rofl

IT NO HAS MICROFONE
I wan't ejectives! gonk
That seems very Minnesota-y to me. And generally weird. I don't like /{/ very much. I sometimes conciously uses /a/ intentionally instead.
I mentioned the [r] thing on the ZZB, and it seemed that most people didn't believe me. Is it that odd? I pretty consistently say "water" as [wO4r] nowadays. "I don't know", said fast becomes [arnou].

@koko: Uvular trill? Really? gonk Weird.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention glottal stops. I do them alot, in all the classic places. And it seeps into my writing. If you look a post up, you'll notice I wrote "wan't". It seems I use <'t> pretty consistently (though unconciously) where I have glottal stops.

Vajra B. Hairava "I don't know", said fast becomes [arnou]. Don't feel alone in doing that. I do it too,

If I were magic, I would transport one to you...
But I'm not magic now, am I?
(Though that would be pretty freakin' sweet.)
