If you lived in Boston, you'd be amazed at the number of Irish
people who live here part-time or for part of their lives. Some
of this has to do with higher education, some with economic
opportunity. But it's not uncommon for people to stay a few
years and then go back, or to go back when they retire.
Several friends and colleagues have done this.

May explain why they start sounding like North Americans.
