Different Languages

In my family, we speech (as far as I know) standard English. We always have spoke the same way. Both my parents grew up in the same area that I lived in, so it seemed like it was just passed on from them to me. Speaking standard English my entire life has made it grow on me. At this point, even if I tried, I do not think I could gain a different dialect or accent in my speech. Any subtle phrases or traits in my speech could be from an Irish heritage/background. When ever I leave the state, someone does tend to tell me, "you have a Chicago accent!" Obviously I never noticed this, but someone always tells me of how I same certain words differently. I then share with them some differences I hear in their speech too. Though, at school, I never hear much of a difference between students. Many speak standard English too, but even the textbooks and stories are written in standard English also.
