EVEN THOUGH YOU SAY THAT AS A JOKE IT'S PARTIALLY TRUE, I THINK. A WAY A PERSON SPEAKS IS HIGHLY INFLUENCED BY THE PEOPLE THEY SPEND TIME WITH, AND SINCE KRIS HAS BEEN SPENDING THE MAJORITY OF HIS TIME WITH PEOPLE WHO SPEAK THE STANDARD ACCENT, HE ADOPTED MORE OF THAT ACCENT AS A RESULT, WHEREAS DANIEL PRESUMABLY HASN'T.
IDK, even in Group 2, Kris's accent was nowhere near as thick as Daniel's. idk, it happens, though. My brother has a really thick southern accent, whereas I barely have one at all (although I do shorten my "ing" sounds, ugh).
