I read reddit a lot. Probably way more than I should, if I'm honest, but I justify it as better than scrolling other social media that is meant for more rapid consumption.
Anyway, I often find myself trying to pick up on writing/spelling/phrasing context clues to get an idea where someone might be from. Once I have an assumption, my brain goes "Oh ok, we're from Great Britain." Then, my brain reads the rest in a British accent. Same for Austrailian, South American, Caribbean, you name it.
Just wondering if this is common or not?
Edit: I was just reading a post that sounded like one of my co-workers would have written it. It's not just accents, it's people's voices! How have I not realized this before?
Hmmmm, I read in accents based on tone and writing style, some people it's more obvious to put a voice to. I usually imagine different voices as well as pitch and other details. But that's usually for like messages or text from other people, even if I don't know what they sound like.

Interesting, when I read instructional or basic documents I apply nothing, just think in a bored version of my voice or a version of my voice that has a mood or tone to it.
