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.SandRider wrote:yeah, I put up the "waking life" thread specifically for his opinion ....

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

Re: Where is ....?
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."

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

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.

The true test is how you say "fire".

Re: Where is ....?
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.
(One summer many years back when I was home I was giving my cousin the mason a ride after work and he told me he was going to have to get him a new trowel. I asked him what the hell he had had to go to court for in the first place. )

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.
