I've always wondered if one can lose their accent and gain a new one if that's what they're influenced by all day.

She certainly doesn't have the "Canadian" accent anymore.

Everyone I know who has moved to texas (including me) picks up "y'all":lol
It used to bug me, but now I just think it sounds friendly
Also, my mom who is Canadian, no longer has much of an accent, but my grandmother who is a Brit by birth but has lived in the US forever DOES.
