Literary Predicament

Last night after reading Charles Dickens 'Great Expectations' I noticed a change in my speech. This isn't the first time this has happened either. When finding oneself in a situation where their ear is trained to understand the speech of another, they then begin to adopt said habits. Sometimes this will happen after watching a movie, but the occurance is rare. I find that books are more likely to be the instrument of my instruction in a new tongue than anything else. Perhaps this is an oddity reserved only for myself, but I have an inkling that given the opportunity I may perchance to run into another individual with such a predicament.
