I compared the two É's, and they were the same.

I haven't actually tried that in a title, only lower case accented characters.

Ok, help me:

---Was she drunk or altered---or is that a regional accent? This is a serious question---(about the Louisiana/Baton Rouge accent)

The heavily accented English was such a bonus.

Also, bonus points for shameless cat clips.

I too was pleasantly surprised and excited to see Donny in the trailer until he spoke... I think Donny's unusually bad accent/line delivery here sticks out like a sore thumb... but I'm Chinese so I might be overly sensitive? Still, seeing him wielding that staff is awesome. Trailer is otherwise great. Not bringing my hopes up much though. SW7:TFA was so middle of the road for me (i.e. Better than the prequels but not as good as the OT) I wish Rogue One is much much better.

I'm still not sold on Cumberbatch's accent, but damn, that's a helluva cast!

I can understand some Portuguese\Spanish similarities but it's usually on Liveleak when a Brazilian newscaster is narrating video of an "off-duty" cop taking out some thugs. So it helps when there is context and they speak clearly like a newscaster does. And it helps that it's Brazilian Portuguese, the Portugal accent sounds much different to my ear. I was hoping that studying Spanish for years would give me a leg up on Portuguese but I'm kidding myself.

I checked out some of the LangFocus vids on Youtube, thanks to your post.

I really starting to like this guy. His straight shooting and hick accent make for good chuckles.

It's just a really bad actor with an over the top accent. It works mostly because there is a segment of the population who love videos that make them feel superior.

That you would make the comment at all shows that you think it's worth noting that 'Look, this one ISN'T a fundamentalist, and this Arab looking woman isn't being subjugated!', only leaving out "now I've seen everything."
For me, that's what was disturbing, the apparent surprise that any random Arab family might NOT be Islamic extremists.

I got your point about there being fundamentalists in other religions, but that's not the point. You would not see a white man encouraging his daughter to dance and say "Look, she's not wearing the little house on the prairie dress. Dad must not be a fundamentalist.", or a Semite with their daughter and say "She's not wearing a sheitel (wig) or a tichel (headscarf). Dad must not be a fundamentalist.", and when people jump to that disparaging (even subconsciously racist?) conclusion about them apparently based solely on their skin color and/or accent, it's unseemly (to me) and is exemplary of a problem.

EDIT: Also, I don't understand your 'diagram'. shouldn't it be
(non fundamentalists (religious people) fundamentalists)
or more clearly but probably not proper punctuation-
[non fundamentalists (religious people] fundamentalists)
Or even-
[non religious people-{non fundamentalists]-(religious people}-fundamentalist)
?

Excellent stuff. I've lived in Vancouver, Montreal and Ottawa. It's perfect. That Montreal accent is unmistakable to me. And I have friends from Newfoundland and the prairies. Very clearly Canadian.

Don't forget that some of this country's greatest liberals, including Mark Twain, were southerners with accents and warts and all.

I'm from Mississippi and can confirm his accent as legit.

Not quite buying that accent
