And just on that Sam/Teal'c note, I found a very well presented Sam/Teal'c Manifesto. A good read for anyone who is into the pairing (and 2 of your fics were recc'ed Sky )

(Re: Sam/Vala fanfic) I hope there are no sharp objects to hand when Coley sees that!!!

Sharp objects are something that Coley has to keep out of hand!

Thank you. That's really helpful. Finally a language I understand! I didn't actually need to listen to the clips (being a linguistics student). I just need a good page on American phonetics to compare it to. I shall go a googling.

I recognise some American accents, of course, but I've not really been exposed to that many.

I used to have such an ear for accents. I was always good at picking out what part of the country people were from, or even what part of Ohio (those folks in southern Ohio have SUCH an accent. ). When I studied abroad in college I learned to tell what part of England people were from, and certainly distinguish Welsh from English from Scottish from Australian from New Zeland accents. (Which came in very handy for me in grad school, put me on good terms with the cutest man in our department, he was so sick of people asking if he was from England that I really got his attention by asking "You're from Wales, aren't you?" Ah....he was adorable. The love of my life. Sadly, he was already engaged, and just a pipe dream. But he was a very nice friend, anyway.

I think like speaking languages, this ear for accents is lost over time. God knows I would never be that gifted now. Okay, now I'm sad.

Aw, well, with English accents..... some regions of Lancashire I can place the accent to a village (you best not test me on this Coley and 1Speed), most just which town. I can place Nottingham accents to which suburb people come from, and can tell three different Welsh accents. But then it gets a bit hazy and I can only place regions.

My sociolinguistics tutor is Irish but generally speaks with a Bedfordshire accent. One day he said something and I went "My God! You're from Belfast" and he was really shocked.

Dear Royal Bartender, be aware that the Royal Elders of Samanda are not beyond an occasional wishful thought and spicy retort. After all, what is a hen house without a rooster?!

Er, perhaps I should rephrase that (considering the diversity of Samanda): what is a hen house without a hot chick or two?!

And here I was thinking that the elders were a collection of chaste saints....

Oh yea and what planet have you been living on P3X-595

[KatG]

I really don't understand what you are talking about? We don't say out or about any differently, not that I can tell

Well of course you wouldn't be able to tell. Just like other US Southerners don't pick up my accent, but people from everywhere else do. 8)

AT's accent is much more evident than MS. But the person who has the strongest Canadian accent is MW in the director's commentary.

Of course! I set me up a time loop machine with a time dilation device..... Semi Naked Sam, all day, every day...... P3X 595..... *drool*

What?! Noone said the bartender had to be chaste!
