Military families had a bunch of different people, foreign and domestic, getting married.
Not unusual for the kids to have different cadences or colloquialisms in speech.
I had to change my accent every time I moved or get beat up. The girls didn't.
You would get beat up over the way you speak? That's messed up. My mom has a thick accent and struggles with the SH sound still after more than 40 years lol. I was born and raised here so I think I sound like everyone else.

They live in Markham, a suburb on the north side of Toronto. I've never had anyone comment on the way I speak before or since. I think he was just being rude because he walked away when I tried to get him to elaborate.

Odd that you and your sister have a different accent. Were you raised together?
Yes. My mom and dad were married for more than 60 years and together for every day of that union.

My sister got married and left home at around 19. It was a few years later that I branched out on my own.
When I listen to my sister speak it is astonishing how much it reminds me of hearing my grandmother speak.:hug:
