I change my accent slightly when I go to New England, isn't hard, just don't pronounce my R's.

That is only in Boston area, and eastern part of the state/ maybe some parts od RI and NH. For Western MA and much of CT and VT, we do pronounce the "Rs". 🙂
 
I've been in the US for 11 years now, I am 21, and I still carry the Chinese accent. My tongue is just too lazy.
 
I pronunciate all the letters in a word (no cutting of words) and use the correct grammar in a british accect. Some people think I talk a little posh.

After a few beers, however, my language becomes foul and I sound more like a regular mechanic or something.
 
I used to have a nice Atlanta drawl, but after nine years of living in KC I sound like goddamn Flanders on the Simpsons.

Some peeps think I have the steroetypical, good upbringing, middle-class English accent - I would tend to disagree since I was born in the South West of England with a Bristolian Twang.

I have fought for many years to try and become accent-less (I konw it's never going to happen)

Example: The Bristle Dictionary
 
I've been told that I have a slight Baltimore/Maryland accent (if that means anything).

I pronounce Baltimore "Balt'more" and Maryland "Mare-lind".
