I never realized this until it was pointed out to me. I travel a lot for work. And when I do, I copy people's speech patterns. Usually it goes unnoticed. But at other times, it happens in weird ways. Like the time I was dancing with three kids in a Walmart shopping cart. Their mother was stunned. They were autistic. Apparently my copy of their speech patterns just related to them.

Usually it is just going from normal to redneck speech, things like that. But I never knew I did it.
