No, I drink my wattah from a tumblah.

There is a "test" (as in MMPI, MBTI, etc., ) that measures how many words you have spoken in life, up to that date - some linguist, or speech therapist here may be familiar with that test?. My college was into the psychology of engineering design, and that test was floating around. I grew up near Boston (in one of the Tonic Towns) and spoke few words. So, I lost my Boston accent quickly.

English has always been a fluid language, variations like Ebonics are frequent through history.
