Slightly off topic but your reference to being accentless reminds me of a time as a 14 year old visiting my American cousins for Ireland.

My slightly younger cousin’s friend found the way I pronounced things as well as some of my vocabulary to be very funny. When I pointed out that he also had an accent he almost almost wet himself with laughter, so absurd was the idea to him that both of us had accents rather than the one of us who didn’t sound American.
