31. My favorite was the time some folks were having hizzies about

the accents in Troy, ie not realistic. As we don't know who the Trojans were, what language(s) they spoke, let alone the phonetic system, English accents were as good as any. :shrug:

English in the 1190's was in transition from OE to ME. Even with contemporary recording, I'm pretty sure Costner couldn't have coped.
