Today, my teenage daughter asked me if accents are hereditary. FML

Dumb girl, they're sexually transmitted

I hope stupidity isn't. Or your unborn grand-babies are screwed.

My high school psych class actually mentioned this once. It's a pretty good question. It doesn't matter if the answer is painfully obvious to people now, because at one time it wasn't.

they technically are because you grow up listening to your parents talk and that's how you get your accent...

Happy to be British right now ^.^

Are you stupid? They are. When a baby is in the womb then hear the parents talking in an accent. The baby then beings to develop that accent. Baby's cry with an accent. Stupid

How the **** does one cry with an accent?

Well this is interesting. You're a failed parent.

Is her intelligence hereditary as well?

Actually there are various theories in psychology that speculate that accents and memories and various things that people consider to be caused by environment, are actually somewhat genetic
