I tend to pick up local accents whenever I am in a place for more then a few days.

Legacy of a youth spent globe hopping.

I went back to visit Kenya for a few weeks and when I got back stateside my best friend who picked me up at the airport kept look at me strangely. After about five minutes she said, "Why are you talking like Margaret Thatcher?"

Oops.

It took a couple of days to wear off.

LOL!

That would be a handy talent...especially if you’re trying to purchase necessities.

Such as “fyil-um”.
