I would love to go to Ireland. It sounds so beautiful. All rainy and green...
I also like the music and love the accent.

The accent your probably thinking of isnt really real.There are about twenty million bazillion accents in Ireland.Theres the main like northern,dublish and Cork but you coul have three or four different accents within a 15 mile radius in some places.Its a bit strange considering the actual size of the country.Its bloody tiny.

Isn't real? XD. I have no idea why people from Ireland would put on a fake accent.
There are several different accents in every country. I'm not sure why, but it happens.

We don't put on a fake accent.I'm on about the accent all or most americans think we have.The steriotypical Irish accent usually acconpanied by little dancing lepricauns which by the way aren't real...They're just sheep.

Talking about the presumed Irish accent, I guess Irish people don't realise that there are some traits that are peculiarly Irish in the way they talk. It's the same with the Italian-American accent...I don't realise it but people can automatically understand I'm Italian when I speak English. It's the same with the Irish.
It's true that there are millions accents in Ireland but you don't realise it until you spend a lot of time there...I'm able (sometimes, since I'm living again in Italy) to distinguish between the Corkonian and the Dublin accent but it took me a lot to appreciate the difference. Yet, both accents share some common characteristic and idiomatic phrases that foreign people would generally recognise as 'Irish'.

Arrgg. Contrary to popular belief, Americans do not get their ideas about other cultures through 'The Simpsons'. I don't know why every foreign person I've ever talked to doubts that I, or anyone else I know, knows what another accent really sounds like. Is it so hard to believe that maybe... just maybe we've actually heard one? I'm sorry, but it really pisses me off when people automatically assume that just because we live in the US, we see other cultures through stereotypes like that's all we're possibly capable of doing.

It boggles my mind that anyone would ever think that the majority of Americans have never heard a genuine Irish accent. I've been around Irish people before. I'm not sh*tting you when I say that I like the accent for what it is. And no, don't say that I am the exception because I'm not. There's not a person I know who's never heard an Irish person speak. Believe it or not, a real Irish accent is not that hard to come across.

I'm sorry, but you really hit a nerve when you said that. I am so sick of hearing it, especially since nobody has any real reason for thinking it other than that's what they've been told.

O_o... sorry,thats just really funny about the corconians and dublish accents.to us they're like two opposite ends of the universe.appart from the fact that corconians and dubliners basically hate each other.

Sorry.And I know a lot of americans know what a real irish accent sounds like but it annoys me that they still use the steriotypical one on telly and in movies.The actors are just really shoot at doing accents,or at least some of them are.

Can you name a movie where the actors using an Irish accent aren't really Irish? Because I can't.
If you know that most Americans know what one really sounds like, why did you say that most didn't?

Sin City and The Last Samurai.Cant think of anything else right now.
I was talking about how,in general,a lot wouldn't know what it sounds like.

I've heard some pretty bad attempts at Irish accents in movies. P.S. I love you was truly awful. And there was one with Tom Cruise....can't think of the name.

The best I've heard was James McAvoy in Inside I'm Dancing - very realistic, I almost forget he was Scottish.

I've never had a proper St Patrick's Day. One of these years I'm going to drink myself silly on March 17th and maybe even wear one of those little sparkly shamrock hats.
