Yes, I am. Speaking of accents, I saw online once something about it shows you are obsessed with Stargate if you start saying things like "sweet" and "ya think?" (from O'neill) I was surprised. I say things like that all the time, have since before I ever saw Stargate. Are these localized phrases or what? I thought everybody said them... -
*nods* I was getting a southwestern impression, so I guess that fits.Originally posted by gambitComment

Haha. It's when you start saying "Indeed." like Teal'c that you get'n trouble. But I've been saying "Sweet!" for many years before I ever even saw Stargate. It's "frell" and "smeg" I picked up most from my sci-fi fandoms...Originally posted by LizabethComment

I don't hear any accent on Joe either, but that's 'cause I have the same one.

I'm from the midwest, so I can definitely hear the more laid-back, southwestern drawl that Joe has. I actually like his accent very much. As for "speaking stargate", I say "indeed" and "fer cryin' out loud" like nobody's business. It's a problem now.
Edit: Can I just say "guh" to The Return piccies?

Speaking as an American west coast-er myself, I don't hear any accent from him.

It's funny how often dialects and accents come up in this thread.Originally posted by Lizabeth Joe does sound like a bit of a cross between West Coast and Midwest, which fits with him having grown up in Nevada. Torri and Amanda sound so Canadian it's not even funny, though Torri's is less pronounced than Amanda's most of the time. (Er, no pun intended.) The thing is that American actors who study formally learn American Broadcast English, so many of them have little of their native accents left when they speak on camera. Joe Flanigan's accent is not that huge, but it's there in the way he pronounces some of his vowels, like the short A.

Actually, as I've said before, I can hear her time in England in Torri's voice as well as Canada, so perhaps that's why her Canadian accent sounds less pronounced to you.Originally posted by MelyannaIt's funny how often dialects and accents come up in this thread.

Hasn't Torri lived all over the place? I'm always so entertained because she seems to bounce back and forth in her accent, at least in my untrained ears. I always think I hear a bit of English coming from David, though I'm not sure when he moved from England to Canada. Anyways, sorry for the OTness.Originally posted by Trialia

Pretty much, yeah. As I said, it's not so hard to tell.Originally posted by RoryJHasn't Torri lived all over the place?

Who knew a little comment about Joe's accent would spark so much interest? LOL. Yeah, so if he grew up in Nevada then I was completely off with my Nebraska-y guess. It's not really as noticeable as most accents but like Melyanna said, it does come out when he pronounces certain words.
Onto some Sparky-ness...I felt bad because I have neglected this ship since becoming obsessed with Daniel/Vala over on SG-1...so I decided to make it up by making another wallpaper. Enjoy!

I always find it amusing when someone says a person sounds English. How do you 'sound English' when they're are so many regional dialects? Sometimes I'd love to have an outsiders ear.

Oh, I know. But it is there. A certain southern lilt in her voice. Listen to her during that coffee conversation in Intruder, I can hear it there.Originally posted by SallyLizzieI always find it amusing when someone says a person sounds English.

Now that you mention it, I suppose that Joe does have a bit of an accent... I just haven't noticed it before! I adore Torri's accent, it is so cute!!
I've been told that people from around where I have grown up have a bit of an accent, but I never really realized it until somebody pointed it out. Huh...Comment
I'm fairly tentative about tonight's episode, given rumours...
