Foreign Accent Syndrome: Can it happen that we forget the way of speaking our language (accent) and start speaking the accent of another country? You must be feeling a bit strange to hear this, but this has happened to a woman in Texas. The woman who spoke in three different accents suddenly forgot her accent and started speaking in a Russian accent, which she was not even aware of, nor was she ever in connection with a Russian accent.

The woman's name is Abby Fender, and she recently underwent surgery to repair a herniated disc. The surprising thing is that when the woman woke up after the surgery, she was stunned to know that her voice was paralyzed and her Texan accent had also disappeared. The lady is a former singer. She told that she has no connection with Russia and never lived here. The doctor was shocked to see all this.

Although I was never upset because it seemed fun in the beginning, now it is not. Sometimes I am treated as if I am not even an American.
