Science: Wired has an interesting article, with this title: "If Someone Secretly Controlled What You Say, Would Anyone Notice?" The answer, probably not. The article uses the intriguing term, cyranoid.

Interesting about the accents. I think there's something to the idea that babies begin to have other things to think about and to learn once they've learned the sounds they're going to need to be understood by their families.
I feel a little funny about my southern accent when away from home, especially when people focus on how I talk rather than on what I'm saying. However, I don't want to lose it!
There's nothing wrong with a Southern accent! (Or a Brooklyn one.)
Thanks.
