Move?

Stay somewhere long enough and you'll pick up traits of the accent. I'm already sounding more Northern, apparently, and I've been in Sheffield for a year

Necro uses southern colloquialisms? HILARIOUS

It's okay, I have a little bit of a southern accent but I've been in the south for like 11 years. I have a tendency to leave G's off the end of some words.

I dun have the accent, and I spent only ten years in TN, but I, too leave the G off of infinitives.

I also say "Y'awl"

I live in Vermon, where we dun pronunce the le'er 't' a'all.

Seriously. It bothers me.

Depends on how easy you pick accents up, and how long you retain it after you've left an area. I still pronounce a lot of words with a sort of south-western accent (don't know exactly what category Colorado is in, as far as regions go, but I spent my first eight years there), but, for some reason, I'll occasionally slip into some variation on a British accent. It's hilarious when I'm speaking Spanish.
