Loved hearing the girls talk. Wife is from just west of Lake Charles, so she's contaminated by that nasty Texas accent. Me, people say when I get excited, the coonass comes out, but being away from the language, alot has faded. Link to comment

I can't explain it, but I can hear it. I don't know anything about the vocabulary, but there's something in that guy's accent that you wouldn't hear from a dude born and raised in France. Quote Me, people say when I get excited, the coonass comes out, but being away from the language, alot has faded. My mom was from England, came to the US when she was 18. She had an English accent, but after many years here it faded a good bit, and she didn't keep many of the linguistic quirks. That is, until we went back to England for visits with family. In fairly short order, she'd recharge her battery, so to speak: her Lancashire accent strengthened, and she reverted to using many more of the little features of the local dialect and intonation. It was a little harder to notice the change when we traveled with her, but the one or two times she went by herself, when she came back to the US she sounded like a totally different person for a while. 2 Link to comment
