Today, I asked a woman where her beautiful accent was from. The woman stared at me for a while. Then her daughter told me that the reason her mother talked like that was because she had a stroke a few months ago. FML

Today, while at my friend's house, I noticed her brother had a bit of an accent. I laughingly said "Is it me or does your little brother have an accent?" She stared and replied with "No, he has autism." FML

Today, the parent of a student called to ask me about a homework assignment. At the end of the call, she told me that I seem to be losing my "Asian accent" from when she first talked to me in the summer. I was born in the US, grew up in NJ and speak perfect English. FML

Today, at work, I was helping someone who really sounded like she had a Boston accent. So, I asked her where she was from. She has never been out of state. Turns out she has a speech impediment. FML

Today, my mom mentioned how she loves a certain actor's "British" accent. I couldn't help but mention that there's no such thing, and that there are lots of different accents in Britain. She got pissed and lectured me for "lying" to her and trying to make her feel stupid. FML
what???
Nature vs. Nurture
Today, I think my daughter is the only person in the world who was born racist. The other day she said to me, “Girls with dark skin can’t be pretty.” FML

According to some study they just published here, there is a drought of available young men (aged 24-35) in Australia. There are plenty of single women around ;)

Nah, Accents are Hyundais, not hereditary. If she doesn't want an Accent she can be free to buy a Civic or something else.

Maybe she was thinking hereditary means it comes from your parents, not necessarily genetically, and that's why she was confused because we do most times pick up accents from our parents.

If you say "beer can" in an English accent, you're saying "bacon" in a Jamaican one.
