Migraine Causes British Woman to Speak With Chinese Accent

The dreaded Foreign Accent Syndrome strikes again.
A British woman has suddenly started speaking with a Chinese accent after suffering a severe migraine, she said in comments quoted by British media Tuesday.

Sarah Colwill believes she has Foreign Accent Syndrome (FAS) which has caused her distinctive West Country drawl to be replaced with a Chinese twang, even though she has never even visited the country.

The 35-year-old from Plymouth, southwest England, is now undergoing speech therapy following an acute form of migraine last month which reportedly left her with a form of brain damage.
Recent cases of brain damage have been diagnosed here in the United States that inexplicably cause immature media types to accuse patriotic American of being seditious. There's no known cure for this affliction.
