Re: Undeleted, because this wasn't a misfire, like I thought. >_>

Yeah, I love his accent (and how he pronounces Lieutenant - I'm so happy to hear that pronounced properly!), someone on the forum decided it was inappropriate to the era (they also apparently missed that Ichabod was English), and complained loudly about it

That poster wasn't wrong, though. While there were of course regional variations in both countries, in general American English and British English accents at the time of the Revolutionary War were very similar; much more than they are today. Additionally, most 18th century Englishmen's accents were closer to modern American English than to modern British English. So Ichabod's accent on the show is (probably; note the above disclaimer re: regional variations) anachronistic.

(Obviously, if you don't care about the show's anachronisms, that's fine; it's a ridiculous horror/fantasy series, not a documentary. But any viewer who was hoping for a historically accurate backdrop for the horror/fantasy elements does have plenty of cause for complaint.)
