• Significantly changing how you speak every time you talk at work has to be a lot of effort, but that is exactly what one man suspected of his coworker at a temp job he was doing. A British man, he was working in offices in New York, and when the woman doing his induction realized his nationality, she wanted to introduce him to another British person working there.

  However, when he met this supposed Brit, he felt it was obvious that he was faking the accent. He wasn't sure why this was the case, but he kept quiet about it nonetheless. He shared the story.
