I am a sucker for accents, Irish, Scots, English, French, and Spanish/Latino/a.

My business partner back East had a degree in linuistics. He used to listen to my brother and me and it would drive him crazy becasue there was not specific thing he could point to which made our accents Coloradoan, yet they most definitely were. My dad has a very slow, thoughtful Western Colorado accent of the old pioneers....I'd give anything, some days, to have that..it is dying out and no one is carryign it on.

But, I might as well be a mynah bird, because I tend to pick up whatever accent I am around...I've had friends tell me I sound like their Canadian friends, the people here in the West know for sure that I've lived out East, and out there, I was a novelty for being from back here!

when I was a kid, a girl scout who'd never met me called one day to ask my fi my troop would liek to come to a meeting of her troop. We started visiting and she asked me if I was from Scotland., Apparently, the whole school thought I was...it was a Scottish year for me, I guess.:-)
