Yes, it’s a real thing. From WebMd: "Imagine you wake up and how you pronounce words suddenly sounds completely different, almost foreign, from the last time you spoke. For example, your American English accent sounds British. This might seem bizarre, but it’s a rare motor speech disorder aptly called foreign accent syndrome (FAS).
It’s not the same as moving to a different country for a few years and developing a new accent. A number of things can cause this. The most common cause is brain damage that stems from a stroke or traumatic brain injury.
The condition was first described in 1907 by a French neurologist named Pierre Marie. Since then, just a little over 100 cases have been reported."

It’s really time to worry when you walk into the room and he says, “Duuuuuude!”

That’s no excuse for claiming you’ve always talked this way. I think Grandpa’s in denial about his FAS.
