A lot of good data there, everyone!

Inventor during B5's run my language began to take on some aspects of Londo Molari.

Can AS ever develop into schizophrenia? It seems like the dissociative trait is dangerously close to sharing a symptom with schizophrenia.

I hope this is not too much off the topic...

Moreso when I was younger but it still happens from time to time..I seem to absorb a bit of the personality of a person i am talking to and even subconsciously take on their mannerisms...certain types of people more than others...

The most acute case I can remember is when i had a co-worker who was this very pleasant Scottish lady...I literally found myself having to force myself not to talk in a brogue when I spoke to her...and in order to stop doing this I practicly had to talk like a robot...

I will still slip when speaking with people with certain foreign accents..like the time we had a whole band for New Zealand staying at our place....(had to keep myself from slipping into the accent..).....I do it with Canadians too...

But It's not just foreigners...
and like I said..not all the time and moreso when I was younger

Oh yeah..and I am editing this in response to the above post...

When I was in my late teens..early 20's...I started getting OCD habits AND delusional thoughts...it was nuts....There was this band we were friends with..practiced in the same building as us.., and I had the nagging and completely irrational belief that EVERY song of theirs was about ME...which is totally absurd....and I also thought that dogs were trying to communicate with us and that that their talking sounded like a series of barely audible clicks..
um..
luckily it was a phase and I grew out of it...But i have changed alot as a person since those days too...

As related reply, mainly to poopylungstuffing, YES!

I tend to speak with extreme precision in vocabulary, enunciation, and grammar. When I was entirely hooked on Brit TV I began to sound English - to such an extgent that people commented that I must be from Jolly Olde.

Then I worked for a couple od Indian (not red) gentlemen and began to speak as they did. In rural AZ I have tended to speak a bit country.
