He was last around on Sept 17.

Busy with work, maybe?

I was wondering this too. I noticed he seemed strangely quiet during the whole Swordmaster freakout/trolling fiasco, but maybe he missed it all.

Not likely. I think he'd be free by now. All you have to do is say you're sorry and politely ask the guard to let you leave. :P

How do you say 'sorry', Rider? Is it 'sarry', or 'sahree'?

The Canadian accent you're thinking of is probably a Maritime accent (so goes the stereotype, anyway). In which case, I believe Chig has it right.

And if I were to guess at the Texan pronunciation, ah'd say it's sumthin' lak "so-ray."

I was thinking more of an old friend of mine, from Saskatoon ...
puts more of a "soar" in it .... and Michael J. Fox, in interviews
when he's not "acting" ...

not a word I actually say outloud much,
but I guess it'd be like "Wail, ahma sar-ree",
stress on second syllable, two "r" sounds

what's that called, Chigger, writing phonetically to mimic an accent ?

I remember seeing some print ads along time ago, I think for Foster's,
that had a series of phrases with fairly common words that didn't make
any sense together, but if read aloud produced a meaningful statement
in a very deep Australian redneck accent.

I do this mentally, as well, when mimicking my cajun buddy -
His gumbo, f'instance, "be rail good" - you have to see the word
"real" as "rail" when you say it

Wow, you have a weird accent. For me:

Colour is pronounced cull-er, collar is pronounced call-er, same as caller. Mary merry and marry are almost the same, might be slightly less "a" in merry though, or maybe I just don't stress that vowel as much when I say merry. Sari is saw-ree and sorry is saur-ee / sore-ee.

About is about. Not aboot!

The true test is how you say "fire".

If I'm speaking "proper", I say [fie-uhr] to rhyme with higher, sire, sigher, hire, buyer, dyer, etc.

If I'm back home or talking to relatives or old friends on the phone, it rhymes with far, car, bar, mar. :D

Sounds like you and I talk the same. I don't think I've ever met anyone who said "aboot." It's a-bout or uh-bout, like trout or scout. But not Sca-out.

What amazes me is how many Americans seem to pronounce "roof" like labeouf. For me, it sounds like aloof or the double-o sound in tooth.

And "fire" is Phi-er, but the "e" is very minimal, depending on how quickly I'm saying it.
