I love accents, especially strong German accents in English and strong British accents in French. People love to discuss just what kind of accent I have in English... When I came back from the US I actually had an accent in French but over time I came to this "bland" French, no one can place where in France it's from, it's just random (incidentally my older sister got a southern French accent right away). In English though, I really am influenced by where I am, right now I mainly speak English with peeps who tend to have French accents and so I might be borrowing from them (and dumbing unintentionally my English), in Finland I was much closer to a London accent because I closely worked with people from around there.
Ah, linguistics, if I weren't into engineering I would have perhaps chosen that field.
