She wakes up with a British accent
Michelle Myers has had blinding headaches for years. She has woken up with different accents three different times in the past seven years. Myers has spoken with Irish and Australian accents. Each time, the accent lasted about a week. The Arizona woman has never left the U.S. woke up speaking as though she’s from the U.K. “Everybody only sees or hears Mary Poppins,” Myers, a former Texas beauty queen with seven kids. But her British accent is still going strong since 2015, when she went to sleep with a headache and woke a changed woman. “Some people think it’s physiological; others think it’s psychological,” said Myers. “People like me — we don’t care which one it is. We just really want to be taken seriously.”
I was with my wife in a taxi in Beijing. It was the last day of our holiday, and she was extolling the virtues of Google Translate. “It’s great,” she said, just point the camera at something and it translates the text in place. And she was right – for reading menus or road signs it was a lifesaver. However, here we were in the back of a taxi, trying to get to the airport for our flight home. “That’s not the right word for the airport” I said, looking over her shoulder as she typed. It’s ‘nee-ow’ I tried to say in my best Cantonese accent. “Shut up! I know what I am doing.” was her answer. Immediately I threw my arms behind me into a V shape and said to the driver “neeeeeee-oooooooooowwwwww”, and he said, “Yes sir, to the airport, certainly sir!”

“I’m a Liberian” replies the man “Oh I’m sorry” Whispers the girl. “ᴵ ˡᵒᵛᵉ ʸᵒᵘʳ ᵃᶜᶜᵉⁿᵗ, ʷʰᵉʳᵉ ᵃʳᵉ ʸᵒᵘ ᶠʳᵒᵐˀ”
