Reply to TIL about the foreign accent syndrome (FAS), which is a speech disorder that causes a sudden change to speech so that a native speaker is perceived to speak with a “foreign” accent. FAS is usually caused by damage to the brain from a traumatic injury or a stroke. by Imaginary_Emu3462
Can this also explain why I pick up accents so quickly on accident? I was born in Texas and grew up with y'all and yonder, winder and warsh. Then I moved to Minnesota, oh yah, doncha know it there? But now I live in Arizona where it's a mix of California surfer slang, Spanish and accents all kinds. After a day of working with my Mexican coworkers I go home with an accent. I have to force myself to speak "normally". I have had some very severe head trauma over the years, especially when I was a kid.
