Do you ever accidentally mimic an accent you hear? Goerdie is a northern English accent. And whenever I hear it I unintentionally start speaking it

Yes actually, it was weird

I lived in the south of the US almost my whole life and never picked it up, but when I was playing xbox live with British people and there were no Americans, I started to sound legitimately British even though at the time I couldn't fake the accent half that well if I tried

Probably because I liked the sound better it was something I absorbed more
