[QUOTE="Bradskii, post: 76027950, member: 412388"] Actually my grandson asked my wife a week ago why she didn't have an accent. If you're used to how someone talks then the accent seems to dissappear. Although my accent, my wife's and specifically my daughter's are significantly different. Mine's quite Anglicised, my wife's is still definitely Welsh and my daughter has a very strong Aussie accent. So if we're going to a dance... Me: Dahnce Wife: Dance (with a hard a) Daughter: Dairnce. Back before instant internet connection when international phone calls were bloody expensive, I used to get cranky at my wife calling her mother in Wales every couple of weeeks. Cost a fortune. I'd be standing in front of her pointing at my watch every couple of minutes. Consequently, she used to ring her when I was out, down the pub with some friends maybe. But when I got home, her Welsh accent had gone up a few notches having slipped into it whilst chatting. So as soon as she said anything I could always tell. 'You've been talking to your mother again!' [/QUOTE]
