It seems a very natural thing to do since, in my experience, people understand you more clearly and even relate to you better when you do this. Human connection is an instinct. Even when I avoid mimicking accents, there are cadences and inflections for various languages or national dialects that I naturally lean into.

I gotta say, I spent three weeks in England on tour with a professional choir. Toward the end, the natives were asking me what part of England I was from. As a singer, I think there’s a natural tendency to adopt the cadence of the folks around you.

I have to make a conscious effort to not emulate the accents and speaking patterns of the places I live because it reads pretentious, even when it’s not intended. 

This show hasn’t been on yet??? I’ve been hearing about it for months.  Also still not watching. 

We don’t have a policy on anything. The entire Trump government policy is to:

I get that you don’t think you were, but I want to be very clear about something - if a women says she would do something in self-defense against a sexual assault (or anything else, but especially this), and you take time out of your day to drop into the conversation to let her know that her action in defense of self w…

I think it’s just a combination of aging, different hair, spray tan and the fact that the photo has just been airbrushed to hell (no one is that poreless close up, no matter what kind of work they’ve had done). His features are all the same as they were 15 years, so I doubt he’s had anything but Botox.

gurl it’s facetune and lindsay did it i’m sure

I’m less bothered by the mechanics and more bothered by the... output.

Isn’t anyone who marries the fucking future KING OF ENGLAND by definition climbing up socially? I mean, everyone in Britain is below him socially except for his immediate family.

Don’t move the goalposts. My point is that there’s no reason to accuse of her of social climbing. People are just jealous she married a prince (who she was lucky enough to be with since they were 19/20). Maybe William should have married his cousin.

Her parents both worked for an airline. While she was STILL A CHILD they started a party company. Her family was full fledged rich long before she started university. She went to the exclusive day private schools with people who are aristocratic and very wealthy. She met William when she was 19. I don’t understand the…

All feuds should be ended with pudding. Unfortunately, in the English sense the pudding in question is most definitely not chocolate with whipped cream. It was probably some horrible plum/suet jelly 3 tiered concoction.

Not sure why MMtS is being such a dick to you.  Hope the rest of your pregnancy is happy and healthy!

Yeah I had one friend who was just INSANE about what she consumed during pregnancy. She couldn’t have stuff I’d never ever heard of impacting pregnancy before.

I drank hot tea when I was pregnant. Sometimes it was the only thing I could stomach. And it seemed wholesome and soothing...

I’m not a tea person, but drank a cup of coffee a day all through my pregnancy. Everything was fine. And I was pretty hyper-vigilant about no soft cheeses, etc. I wouldn’t even eat salads because of all the issues with lettuce. But research shows moderate caffeine has no impact.

His family is German anyway.

If the level of caffeine in tea is causing you to suffer significant personality changes I don’t think it’s the tea.

I’m an American, born and raised in the land of the redneck where every soda is called coke, and I freaking love tea. And I’m not talking iced sweet tea either, but the wonderful hot stuff. I wouldn’t give it up even if I were pregnant much less if someone else was.
