It would take an automated computer program to not have any accent--and even then, I think it could reasonably be argued that that would, itself, constitute an accent.
If you meant he has a foreign accent, I have to wonder what else you were expecting, given that he's from Norway.

See now if KOM says something that makes him sound like a jerk, I'll hear it in that voice and be at least partially placated. Posts: 14316 | Registered: Jul 2005

I was almost positive he had a deep voice, but I was expecting to see something like a taller slimmer Nordic stereotype- also thought he would look older. His accent is thicker than I expected as well, judging from his writing.

Well, he's letting me graduate.
Excellent point.
He's a VERY good sport.
Wait a minute. KoM has done some VERY good work in online gaming and Hatrack trolling. That should be worth SOMEthing, shouldn't it?

I'm moderately tall, 180 cm; my advisor is quite tall too, so perhaps your eye is being fooled. As for slim, well, I just sat still for a year writing this dang dissertation. Posts: 10645 | Registered: Jul 2004

This is not my impression from looking at the people around me. Perhaps the men of Cincinnati are particularly short?

Hm, I'm going to have to watch this not on my blackberry, can't really see you on this tiny screen!
For some reason I always pictured you as a blonde Thor-ish persona. I must stereotype a lot more than I thought I did...

My passport thinks my hair colour is "dark blond", so I have official documentation in the matter. Posts: 10645 | Registered: Jul 2004

Are we talking about formal nomenclature, like on passports, or common nomenclature? Because I'd agree with you for the latter, but not the former.
