No, I don't. However, if it was a place where the people spoke in an accent that I found really appealing then I might pick up some aspects of it. Accents also portray a way of life and if the way of life is appealing then I may well adopt it.

No, but that would have been pretty cool.

Only in the south. When I leave, I sound like I have MORE of a southern accent than the southerners do!

Not really. I already know accents and speak them pretty well beforehand. Good to blend in :)

I do pick up some bits, but you'd have to ask them to find out whether my accent would fool anyone :)

No,I have a Southern Accent and it sticks out when I travel.
by Jadey - Vive la difference on August 13th, 2009
No I don't. Mainly because I rarely travel to other English speaking places.
When I lived with an American I picked up her accent. Same goes for when I lived with an Aussie. Often if speaking with somebody for a while my accent adjusts to theirs, which may be why people are often confused as to where I am from too.

Not from simply traveling. But, if you stay in an area for a while, a year or so, you do tend to pick up on the accent. I was in the military and also traveled in my job for a while. I can vouch for this. When you go home to see family, they notice it. (smile)

My ReadPlease 2003 has a context-differentiating problem and misreads “St.” as in “St. Francis Hospital” as “Street.” What text-to-speech program will figure out the correct longhand for the context the shorthand is in?
