: John Wayne talked like that in his Western movies yes, but if you : saw him in any of his war movies you would agree that he would have made a good Argaron(provided he was younger and had some makeup to change his appearance) Actually, I was raised on John Wayne movies. I read a couple of biographies about him and I am pretty sure that I have seen all of his feature-length films. I have not seen all of his films, since the shorts are rather pathetic, and even Wayne didn't like them all. And, in reality, he never really adopted an accent for either the westerns of the war movies. In truth, for a lot of his roles, he had to remember to say words like "ain't" and "ya all". In some respects, he was rather elitist (in SOME respects). : Just out of curiosity do you live in America? Most Americans (except for Southerners...no offense) talk normal. The English, to me anyway, sound stuck up with thier accent and thier fancy words.(no offense intended) I was born and raised and currently reside in the US. I happen to have a Utah accent (which is difficult to describe, but it tends to be a running together of certain words). But I had a misspent youth where my father and I would adopt other accents and see who could hold them the longest. However, I am curious as to what you are defining as "normal". Certainly people in the south consider their speech to be normal, as do those out west, in the east, and up north. As a matter of fact, I would contend that more people then not have a regional accent, and most of those aren't aware that they do. Most people think that they speak without an accent anyhow. So I even am concerned about what we are considering to be a "normal" American accent. -RobRoy
