"The View": Week of 09/14/15

[RogerFromOhio]

When I was younger we used to go to Alabama and Florida for vacation. We would visit family. When we would come home back in Ohio I would have a southern accent for like a month. It wasnt on purpose, it just happened. Then it would go away and I couldnt get it back unless I tried really hard.

 

One thing that really disappoints me is no matter how hard I try.... I cant roll my Rs

I'm from Tennessee, had a bad flat accent that I worked hard to lose, but when I went down to Auburn for school, I picked up their AL southern accent.  Schoo for school, sto for store, added a few extra syllables to words.

 

I minored in Spanish.  Still to this day, I'll sometimes write or say English the way I would in Spanish grammar.  Never know what's lurking in the old brain.:)

My kids that were immersion do this ALL the time.  They also often conjugate verbs in strange ways.
