The Dreaded Drawl

Two independent sources have confirmed this week that I'm developing a West Texas drawl. (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Sip just laughed at me and gave me a hard time, but Mindy was a bit more encouraging. She said that it was probably due to the fact that I've had to learn various languages and dialects in the past few years and am used to picking up speech patterns. (Like the way I speak English when I'm in the Asian market here in town) So, hopefully this is just temporary and should I move elsewhere it will change again.
