Linguistic Promiscuity

I seem to have the ability to pick up accents fairly quickly and without any conscious effort.  During my week in Minnesota I found myself starting to pick up the accent and I had to make a conscious effort to stop.

I’d noticed this in the past when working with people from Scotland and England.  I usually have to make an effort to stop using their accents because I don’t want people to think I’m mocking them.
