It's a spell from (A)D&D to dispel illusions. Saying "I disbelieve"
is how you cast the spell in the role-playing game. It's a technical
term.

I think I speak English as if I'm British; I lived in England for
eighteen months when I was in my early twenties. I've been talking
with so many people from different countries, though, that I can't
get the real Wiltshire accent right any more.

At home, we speak about 97% Dutch, 2% English and 1% various other
languages :-)
