I gotta ax...WTF?


Allegedly 6-7 different accents/dialects in about as many days, depending on the group to whom she is speaking?

Kamala, just be yourself...let people vote for you...or not, based on that. This kind of phoniness is unattractive...and might drive away voters.

Nah...IF I decided not to vote for Kamala...and so far, even though I'm NOT one of her fans, I'm still planning to vote for her...I'd NEVER vote for Trump...and a vote for a 3rd party candidate would basically be a vote for Trump.

But, gawd-dammit...don't tailor your style of speaking for each audience...be real.

You've never known anyone who's accent shifts based on who they're talking to? I do it all the time unconsciously. SO always laughs because I put on my Texan hat when I'm on the phone making a delivery or whatever.

It does happen with some people. I guess it's just a habit they fall into, or maybe it's deeper than that.

I can't be bothered watching clips to 'research' it myself with regard to Harris (really can't see it as an important issue, I mean, who cares?), but perhaps she's just one of those people? Being both mixed-race and a visible minority might contribute to acquiring that habit. Could it be related to code switching ?

Also known as "unintentional mirroring", or the "chameleon effect", unconscious shifts in speaking to mirror those of people you are around (including in short term conversations) is both common, and is generally seen as a natural form of empathy and accommodation. Both of which team Trump has zero acquaintance with.

After 14 days on a Princess cruise I picked up a British accent.
 


"Democrat Party is literally the party of criminals." :tearsofjoy:

Takes some primo detachment from reality to believe that while cheering for the sexual predator, convicted felon and fraud who currently leads Team Treason.

Also, if you get stomped by Steve Martin, maybe hang it up for the day, go take a walk. Have a good long think about what you're doing with your life. Try to ascertain what caused you to suddenly veer hard into a career of professional douchbaggery.

I grew up on the margins of the south and I went to tech school in Atlanta. Boy, did my southern accent come out. Then, I moved to ChicaagO where people haav to haav something and I picked that one up right away. Then I moved.....
