Back in 2001, I moved from NY to CA. (Long Island to Sacramento). Back in High School, my accent was pretty heavy and I was a walking laugh machine. But since then... My accent as taken on a sorta "valley girl" curve :) "thats like totally to die foah!"
But i'm wondering how many have been through similar situations? Massive relocation and (to you) and abnormal change of environment? Anyone?

A close friend of mine moved from Michigan to Texas 12 years ago. Now, when he goes home to Michigan to visit, his relatives give him a hard time about his Texas twang. I think some people never lose their accents entirely but will adapt to their new environment in many ways, including acquisition of language dialect.

Yes, I lost my "country" accent after leaving home year ago. If you stay in some place long enough, you'll adapt and start picking up the local dialect.
