So I have a lisp and shudder a bit (it was really bad when I was little). I am totally American, never even been out of the country, yet I have a slight British accent (thanks to my Mum's love of Doctor Who in my childhood, as well as now). Well my southern Uncle (who is a preacher but decently down to earth and very punny) just asked me why I had a British accent. It has gotten worst since I have been here, as well as my lisp. *dies*
