my mother is Australian, but has lived in the US for the past 30 years, her accent is gone. She's under the impression that if she stayed in Australia it would immediately come back. I have no idea if it would or not, but it would be a bit of a mindfuck if it did.

Do you know people who have had distinct accents and fade over time in the new environment they live in? I've seen people from NY with strong accents fade over time from living in California and people from England who have accents also seem to change from living in the US for a long time.
i am accent-less
I used to have a pretty thick southern accent. I don't really have one anymore, or so people tell me, but I'm sure if I went up north people would notice.
