Accent problem - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

We should remember than Middle-Earth is like our planet, and different regions of it and even different regions of those regions have different accents (if that even made sense). Remember in the Extended FotR when Harry Goatleaf said, "And what's more, out of the Shire by your talk!" And I think I remember somewhere that I read Merry talked in a Buckland accent. Granted, this does not solve the characters from the same places with different accents problems. We can just blame that on Gandalf.<P>***Sorry if someone else typed this already!***<p>[ June 14, 2003: Message edited by: Horse-Maiden of the Shire ]
