Thank you for the story! And interesting with the 'native, but unidentifiable'. Considering how... distinctive regional accents are. It’s probably a result of very mixed input, and again, some input that isn’t really spoken in everyday life. If I do go to a specific region, it may well stabilise.
And congrats on your great English!! Thank you! (In which BasiliskRules tells the Critical Period Hypothesis and the like to stuff it, proceeds to learn by heart three Hamlet monologues for fun, and disgusts the entire family by deliberately speaking in Heightened RP, and arguing about the intelligibility of the “cowboy accent” they prefer) RP end of Estuary! One day you will be mine!
