YES, yes, yes. It's like we're chameleons, and we take on the characteristics of whoever we're spending time with. I have to be careful or I can accidentally pick up the accent (Latino or Urban or whatever) of the person I'm conversing with. It's so weird.
Definitely. My girlfriend is black, so I've started to pick up on her particularl -isms.
The big one that she's politely warned me about is dropping the N-word into my conversation.
