Do you think your grammar/accent might change after being with a partner for many years?
If you are an American and got married at the age of 20 with a British is it possible that during the 30+ years of marriage you also might automatically speak or pronounce words like the British accent? Is this something factual or something that depends on the persons personality?|||No.|||My sister married a Englishman, over 50, years ago and has stayed in England, all of that time.
She is just as Scottish, as she was on the day she left Scotland.|||I think you would have to live in another country or area of the US to develop an accent. My mother is German and has a very thick accent. I didn%26#039;t develop her accent during my language development as a child. I%26#039;ve always thought that was interesting.|||My accent is southern but my grammar is not except for saying y%26#039;all. In my 65 years I can%26#039;t stop saying y%26#039;all instead of saying you all. Poppy|||I have been with my husband for 20 years and we both have changed a bit. I was a northerner, and I have noticed on occasion I have a slight southern twang if I%26#039;m not careful though I try to correct it. My husband is a pure southern boy that spoke a lot of improper slang, and I have helped him through the years to improver is vocabulary immensely. Unless he gets with a group of friends and family, then he reverts.|||It is pretty individual. I%26#039;ve always been one on a less than conscious level who adapted to the accent and slang of the region where I lived. I do however use articulate speech, correct grammar and verbiage when speaking in a professional setting.|||I%26#039;ve got more of a southern accent than when i came to Oklahoma, not much but some words yes. So I suppose an accent or grammar might change after being married to someone from a different area for decades. I know a young woman married to someone from a different country who could speak perfect English until she married him and she started talking slowly and breaking up words just like a foreigner learning English. She did it for a few years and her family finally told her to knock it off and she started talking normally again.|||my neighbor was from england and married to an american.after 28 years here,her accent was almost imperceptable.she sounded american,with only a few words or phrases which sounded english.
