OP I just heard part of an interview with Madonna -- yes, the former pop star-turned-children's-book author. Now, I try to keep my finger on the pulse of pop culture as much as the next uninterested guy, but it couldn't escape me: she's got an inkling of a Brit accent and more so of Brit intonation. I understand she's been living in England for a while. That's really all I need to know about her, but I'm wondering: Do any of y'all have stories about people who have moved from one region (country) to another with an obvious influence on their accents? And how long did it take to set in?
