@clacke @gemlog my accent changes from standard american English with some Ozark colloquialisms when talking to the general public to a relatively thick Ozark accent when interacting with family, other locals with a thick accent, or when I'm intoxicated. I think they call that code switching? I have no idea why I do it.
Also interesting is I'm almost a different person when I speak Portuguese. My speech mannerisms and slang choices are not what I would use in English
