Gotta call myself out, too.

Someone just told me I should go home and get some sleep, and I said, "I reckon so" in a really poor country accent (trying to match up to the man I was talking to). I'm tired, alright?

I do have a tendency to talk like whomever I'm talking to. That means a lot of "Yes, ma'ams" with Southerners and a lot of "hey mans' with young people, but for some reason when it's someone who speaks a foreign language, that means this weird lilting accent of unknown origin. I know it's a little bit patronizing/racist/something, but they can understand me better, by God! I can feel it.
