What is Andy's dad's name?

I live in Texas so they all sound verrrrrry Canadian to me...especially when they say "o's". I remember Gail said against "ah-gains-t" and I thought that was weird. "Coppers" is odd to me...no one here says that. Also they don't curse as much as I expect them to.

Haha, coppers gets me every time too. I'd never heard that before RB. They used it in The Chicago Code too, so I guess it's a midwest/east coast thing as well? It sounds hopelessly old fashioned to me, like something out of the Prohibition era I'd expect to hear on Boardwalk Empire, not from modern cops.

Sometimes to me, Ben sounds like a Marylander with his accent. I know he only lived there til he was 7. I'll hear him say certain words, and am reminded of how my ex spoke! Plus, he also studied acting in London, England and Paris, France. He's got a hybrid accent going on!
everyone has an accent - just whatever you don't get locally/regionally ;)

You can hear the little differences.

Charlotte and Lyriq and Melanie and Greg and Noam(?) and Matty are from Toronto originally.

Nathy said Travis and mine are different - I grew up in Toronto and he grew up in Alberta.

Even though he only lived there until he was 7, don't you develop your speech/patterns/'accents' during those formative years? (anyone know? I remember reading it somewhere for a paper).

I agree Ben has a hybrid - Maryland, Vancouver etc.
Yeah, we do develop most of our language skills during the first few years of life (I was looking some info up in my child psych book). That's why it's a lot of times harder for older people to learn a new language as opposed to a child. It also helps if his parents spoke with a Maryland or Canadian accent and learning in elementary school.

That's interesting how Nathy noticed the differences in accents, course both provinces are far apart! I was reading things about the Great Lakes accent, how various vowels are drawn out depending on where along the lakes a person is.

I've never heard the term 'copper' used in modern days. It does sound like it's something from the late 1800s!

Eh I've heard it before -the coppers thing-but it's not something that's used often. I also seem to remember it being a sort of "dated" term

yah I think they use copper more on Murdoch Mysteries (toronto based cop drama based in the late 1800s - with pokes to the future tech, writers, area 51 etc).
with Yannick Bisson, Helene Joy (G. Armstrong)

Coppers of station house 4 - words like Constabulary, Constable, Copper, etc.

yah well Toronto in the late 1800s and early 1900s was still very British.

Eventhough we were considered a country, we were still running under 'British' rules so the Murdoch Mysteries will reflect that

Yep. Australia and South Africa still have strong British influence too. A friend of mine in Australia says it easier for him to get British tv than American tv.
