So in communication with someone I would say that what you describe is a) unavoidable and b) not a bad thing, since you're adjusting to get on with someone you like. In terms of reading and writing I suspect something different is going on, and that while probably equally unavoidable, it's not necessarily a good thing. But each to their own. Some people write surrounded by other books, others can only write when cut off from the written word to find their own voice.

Accents are one thing I am really good at picking up, except I can't do Irish ones (my early teen Shaw fetish must be responsible). Send me to Glasgow and I will be saying 'brell-yunt' before the end of the first day. My Cockney/Estuary one is good too, as DG will testify as he got me started in a game of Easy Geezer the other day. Oddly, though, I've never had the Minnesota regional accent though my mother and sister have it BIGSTYLE. Nick C's dad is a linguist and I often wonder what he'd make of my weird smorgasbord voice; he would not be able to do a Higgins and stick a pin in a map that = me.
This skill is not without its uses. I tend to be more 'English' in taxis late at night to avoid American Tax.
