Am catching up on your posts now that I've caught up on the eps. ;)
I may have ridiculous difficulty differentiating between American regional accents (I only recently got the difference between American and Canadian accents, for heaven's sake), but thou shalt not mislead me about the place where I grew up.
Heh. Meanwhile, many of the intricacies of British accents still go over my head, but I grew up 90 miles south of the Canadian border, still get TV from there and have friends from and in various places around the country, so those are the accents I'm hypersensitive to. Thou shalt not mislead me about the place where I grew up, either.
(It's also why I want to throw things at the screen when Canadian actors portraying Americans get lazy about their accents. One mistake that happens a lot: pronouncing words like "sorry," "tomorrow" and "borrow" like they contain the word "ore." We don't do that. Drives me nuts. ;)
