I was chatting with my neighbor a few houses down from us a couple of weeks ago. He and his wife are both PhDs from Harvard and black. Not a trace of accent whatsoever. If you didn't see him or her, they sound like news casters from our local channel 7 news. Another guy, editor for CSI, stopped by from his walk and jointed in for our sidewalk rap session. He's black also from Pittsburgh, again without any accent (with him, we know he's not from socal). Within a few second of talking about college ball, they were both a different person judging from the way they speak. I didn't say anything but continue jabbering away with them. That typical black accent was thick. I think they used triple negatives within a sentence.
When people are dreaming, thinking, or talking to themselves in silence, does it happen in their native accent without them even noticing it?
