Do you have your orginal accent?

I do. Though being from Hawaii I notice when people move here they try to speak hawaiian pidgeon english or they mimic the accent to fit in. My mother still has a british accent and she has been in the states for 50 years. My grandmother never lost her irish accent either. I probley sound like I’m from California. Yet it is so common for people to move and try to change how they talk and it always sounds so weird. I think of it as myself moving to Ireland and using the irish brogue. It would seem akward. Even when newcomers try to speak pidgeon they have the wrong accent. It’s odd.
