: Can anyone really envision hearing any of the dialogue in American twang? It makes my stomach turn.

Come on, "American" does not necessarily equal "twangy"! If it's spoken properly, Tolkien's dialogue can sound just as elegant with an American accent as it would with a British accent. Shakespeare can be done with an American accent; why not Tolkien?
