Thread Name: Accents
Subject: RE: Accents
Having been raised in Toronto I have no accent (Right Rick, Peter?).

My father came to Canada form Dublin when he was 27, yet most people who knew him here had no idea he wasn't raised in Toronto, with the exception of a few words he had no accent at all.

I find that when I travel I quickly and unintentionally pick up the local accents, but lose them as quickly when I return.
