Poor thing! I can relate… In Nottingham (England) we have Flat Accents, so if we are around foreigners for a couple of hours we can take on the other person’s speech.
Never loose faith Matt! Just think of something very British to say!

I Have this problem in reverse. I moved to England from the states for my hubby. I’ve lived here 3 years and people always try to play ‘guess the accent’ however now because i’ve been here so long everybody thinks I’m Irish because of how everything has melded in the way I speak >.<

I have a really strong southern accent (I live in North Carolina), but I can do a perfect British accent. Sometimes with my accent I use incorrect grammar. Like instead of “That looks like it’s been eaten by termites” I’ll say something like “That looks termite eat”.

I’ve got a terrible problem — I’m a polyglot. I’ll start a conversation with someone, and by the end of the conversation, I’ve soaked up *their* accent, and have even started dropping in their own slang, and if they’re from a foreign country I’m familiar with, I’ll start unconsciously dropping in words and phrases from their language. All absolutely unconsciously and innocently. I’ve started conversations with Quebecois in English, and ended up speaking in French and didn’t realize it. I’m told I have a nice accent, if a touch too Parisienne. I’ll start dropping in Japanese with a Japanese person, usually much to their annoyance (though one found it amusing), and Chinese with a Chinese person, though they tend to be a bit happier about it, and I shocked a Russian speaker silly with it once. So far, it hasn’t gotten me in serious trouble, though one person did ask me if I was mocking them. My look of panic and “ohmygod, did I do it AGAIN?” convinced them that I sincerely didn’t know I was doing it.

I was once talking to someone from the north of Britain, and he kept mentioning ‘th broon bunneh’ and had no idea what he was talking about. Only when I understood that it was that film with the blowjob in it that the coin dropped…

Poor Matt. My Mom moved to Sweden and I visited there myself. A lot of a person’s identity can go into an accent, and this was a topic of discussion among the people we knew who had moved there.

It’s okay, Matt ^_^ Even if you lose the accent, the glasses still make you sexy ^_^
