I mean, it's not that difficult. I listen to plenty of rap and I don't think I've ever spoken the word, certainly not in public. I don't see it as cultural separation but as cultural respect. ~~Eminem has gone an entire rap career without saying it, and he doesn't seem very fussed about it.~~

Edit: He has said it before earlier in his career, but not now for quite a while. The general point I'm making is the same though.

For me when I hear someone speak my internal monologue patterns itself after their speech for a while, and I've heard others describe the same. Accents shift over time if you move somewhere with a different accent. I think it's possible to have your words follow a set of rules, but for most people that will take active filtering that will make their speech less off-the-cuff and might slip if they are tired or drunk or something.

You know it's interesting, because I'm the same way, but I haven't had that happen for me. Not saying you're wrong, it's just interesting how the phenomenon varies. If I have one long listen/exposure, multiple hours long, then I'll it happen to me. That isn't a common occurrence though.

I get your point though. I suppose it just comes down to how someone's brain is wired, and to what level they can separate it from their own speech.
