If someday she speaks to me in a clear and unpolluted Spanish I will think my aunt had been taken by an alien.
Estoy de acuerdo, los acentos pueden sonar bellos, misteriosos, graciosos feos, cómicos, incomprehensivos. A veces puedo distinguir un acento en el modo que una persona escribe. Estoy casi seguro que mi modo de escribir español muestra un acento. Quedo sorprendido que el accento americana suena bien, pero depende en la persona que lo usa. El acento John Wayne en español me parece muy desagradable.
