Oh, there definitely is.
For some odd reason, I tend to "absorb" the accent of whichever region I am in. If I'm in Montana for more than 3-4 days, I actually start to pick up that Montana Drawl.
It happened to me when I was in Hawaii as well, and after two weeks there I was fully saturated. When I got home from, I flipped on the TV to catch up on the news. I even started to notice that the news anchors had a tiny bit of an accent.
I think it's the heavy Scottish influence, myself.
Obviously now that I'm back home I don't hear it anymore, and am back talking with the
a-typical Western Canadian accent.
