[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I laughed at the "miss isle attack". What a poser.[/quote]

It's crazy that everyone just has to accept that accent. She grew up in Connecticut. Like an idiot, she featured her parents on like the second episode and they had American accents. She's not some first generation Israeli American, she didn't go to boarding school in Europe. She's just an aspirational poser. [/quote]

I admit, I hate her accent. However, I do know people, myself included, who unintentionally adopt accents.  If she lived in Europe for a stretch, it's quite possible she picked up their accent and it's become mangled.  Why hasn't anyone not noticed that a Georgia gal like Erika is not speaking with a southern twang. Why, because she has lived outside the south for a long stretch and has adopted another accent that has been mangled with her southern roots. [/quote]

Give me a break. People move away from the south and lose the drawl all the time. In those cases, you can still here it on certain words. Which is precisely the case with Erika. Not the same thing as having an utterly manufactured accent that's extremely pronounced. It's more than an inflection influenced by a loved one or temporary home. And I say this as a new Yorker that started pronouncing some words differently when I lived in Mississippi, so I get it.[/quote]

Ok PP you win. You speak for and know everyone.  No disputing with you. I don't hear a southern twang in Ericka's voice, but you do so that's all that matters. Your post makes no sense, if you can admit that people can move from the south and lose their accents, why can you not admit that people can move to other parts of the country outside  the south, or even continents and lose/change accents and inflections.  Dorit has lived in Australia, UK, and Connecticut (they have accents there to), so her messed up voice inflection is simply a mangled mess. That does not mean it's manufactured. That's just too much work to try to keep up with.  [/quote]

Ok fine. Erika moving out of Georgia and losing her accent is the exact same thing as Dorit moving out of Connecticut and gaining hers. The way Dorit speaks is not contrived in any way. Got it.[/quote]
