RC would have already said… In—er—-esting at least 30 times if he was commenting in this thread.
Because he hangs out more with Americans. He may hv had a cool neighbor that he spent time with to get away from thinking about racing all the time. I deal with Eastern Europeans most of them speak there language. So there English isn’t the best. My mom is from Holland moved here at 5 yrs old . She knew no English but by 12 yrs old she had no accent.
That's what I was going to say about Reed VS the Lawrences. Chad has been away from home with just his wife. While the Lawrences have an entire family and their agent that they are around. So they have had each other around to keep the accents alive and stronger.
Maybe by the time Jett and Hunter have been in the US as long as Chad has been they will have lost most of it too,

2 possibilities:
1) Some people just naturally pick up local accents easily when they live there.
2) Some people make an effort to adapt their accent to the local area. If I ever moved out of the country, I would make an effort to learn the language/accent.
I wish I would have listened to the pod before I saw this thread. I can't stop laughing every time he says it.🤣
I do. But in my experience people who move somewhere in their late teens or as an adult generally keep the accent of their home country, no matter how long they've been away.
Fair point, but I'm thinking more of people from other English speaking countries. GL is a good example, while he definitely sounds a bit American he's still retained his Saffa accent.
I'm not going to even waste my time reading 4 pages of responses on this. JT can say 'right" or "Eat a bag of dicks" 1000 times. He's still the best in the business at what he does and has forgotten more about the WHOLE sport of Motocross/ Supercross than just about anyone here. Threads like this are ridiculous
No Grant used to like that hard candy ah , tic tacs . He used to hv a mouth full at the track. Trying to pull chics with that minty fresh breath. Lol
Everyone has go to phrases and words they use it’s human nature
The worst offender is Champ Kind at KVWN out in San Diego
My sister moved to Tennessee . Came home to visit only a few months later and was full on southern accent. I'm sure she still sounded like she was from the North East to the locals . But I was blown away when I talked to her on the phone after a few weeks of living there and she had already started to change how she was talking. I thought she was just messing with me until she came home to visit. When she moved back up here, she lost it pretty quickly too.
I had forgotten about that until I read Your post. Funny how that works. Then Jerry Bernardo can move all over the world and still have that thick Boston accent he has always had.
If You don't like to stand out, I could see that type of person catching onto the accents quicker. I could see wanting to not look like a tourist if I moved someplace. Interesting to think about how and why some people are quicker to have an accent that sticks, or that changes depending on who is around You.
