Riverside Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 That's the worst thing I could ever imagine. No, maybe a New Zealand accent would be worse. Close call. Maybe, the really worst would be if you woke up and sounded like Penelope Cruz. Buzzkill for days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl M Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 That's the strangest thing I've read lately. I didn't know that we stored foreign accents in our brain and we were just one minor stroke away from picking one up. I wonder if it's limited to Irish or can you get Russian or German? Maybe even Southern! "Hey y'all..." Strange.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I wouldn't mind waking up next to Penelope Cruz.. I'd agree, if you could insure that she wouldn't say anything. I suppose the one is just about as likely as the other... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ne14t? Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Foreign Accent Syndrome, its a real condition and is very rare, I have seen it twice in stoke patients, all of a sudden speaking in a french accent or whatever. Uncommon to happen after a local or general anesthetic though almost makes me wonder if the lady had a stroke while under the knife, very weird indeed. And hey I like the Aussie accent!

I like getting my news without the station having a bias towards any particular party and just reporting the facts. Having visited the lovely states a number of times, it always saddens me that some of the news stations are so 'full on' and obviously biassed towards one political agenda or the other.

Yes, yes I am of course my herbs are prescribed by a doctor, not sure if he has a license or not though. It was a joke, because I pretty sure FOX makes 99% of there news up. I still rely on old fashioned newspaper for my news, gives me something to read from 8am to about 10am in the morning at work, Vancouver Sun or The Province :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She sounds to me closer to Dutch or some Scandinavian language than Irish. That said, she sounds like an American more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 hmm that ain't any accent I recognise from the British Isles LMAO Yep, that sounds like a speech impediment that people interpret as an accent.
