I was watching the BBC news on TV for about twenty minutes once, and after that length of time, a clip of an American military official was played. After twenty unbroken minutes of British accents, I heard him speak with a strange, unfamiliar drawl, Southern-like but not the same. Before I could place it, I realized that it was my own accent, what is "plain English" to me. Apparently I had started to adjust to the British accent during that twenty minutes, just enough to "listen in British" for a second.Jim Maynoreply@blogger.com
