You have no idea how long it took me to work out how to make a new post... The way I speak essay thingy: init

My lexis, tone and accent code shift depending on who I'm with, context and what I deem appropriate. I still say the wrong thing though, a trait from my father me thinks. Talking about the devil, when I am with my beloved father we play around with different accents a lot; I tend to have more relaxed speech when I'm with him than with my friends. When I am with my family I would say I am less polite, this is probably because they will still love me despite what I say and they know I'm only joking, I hope.However, I don't swear in their presence.I would say I am a true brit and most of my conversations are full of phatic expressions like Hello, How are you? etc. I have noticed that with some friends, I tend to take on their accent a little, particularly when I'm talking to my friend from America. From time to time I like to use initialisms, particularly BRB, GG and LOL. I will also say them as acronyms, to add to the comical effect, but only when I'm talking to my "internet friends".I like to think that I have good diction, pronounce my Ts and not relatable to Norfolk in anyway. But despite my best efforts, the Norfolk appears. I say barth instead of bath, grarss instead of grass and glarss instead of glass. I use a lot of fillers in my speech and will hedge to make my statements softer, maybe.
