deird1Suspect is interviewed by the police, speaking with a perfect American accent.
Suspect is revealed to be French criminal in disguise.
Their disguise revealed, suspect now smugly starts declaring that they're going to get away with the crime - in French-accented English.
It's just...
*sighs*
My German accent is very good. And rather Bavarian. I don't go around talking in more Aussie sounding German just so I can tip off all the Germans that I'm a foreigner. Someone who can speak in another language with a good accent isn't going to switch to a clumsy foreign accent just for funsies.*
* Unless you are Hercule Poirot, who does just that.
