/lit/ - Literature

Sort of /lit/ because it has to do with language

I have this very strange habit

When I speak home or to family members I speak with a more 'american' accent' as people have described it - which i think i picked up from my parents. But when i talk to people outside of my family i speak with an Australian accent.

Ive done it ever since I was born.

Kind of like....think switching between a native tongue and english. Except both feel pretty natural to me.

Some of my cousins and siblings speak with a straight more american twang and they often give me shit about 'why i change my accent'

Its worse when I have friends or gf's over and my accents is a complete cluster fuck between the american one and australian one.

Ive tried straight talking one but it just doesnt feel right. When I speak with an australian accent at home my family gives me the whole 'lol why change accent for' or if i speak to non-family member i just straight cannot do my 'home' accent.

Has anyone encountered this (Im guessing cos your murkans seem to have a ton of different accents)? I really have no idea why I even do it.

Where's a good place to buy books online in Australia?

Amazon takes too long to get here and I prefer to shop locally anyway.
