::Warning, Linguist Stepping In::

Technically, having an "accent" is being able to recognize that a speaker is not from your current area. It's all relative, yankee twang, southern drawl or russian palatalization is all relative to where you call home. Anything NOT home is an accent.

So technically Tom, "we're" normal, it just depends on who "we" are.
