I also found I'd made him say OK a lot, and had to go through changing that to 'all right', which in all cases was fine. And 'guess' to 'suppose'.
Oh dear, Vila wouldn't say "guess"? [Jen sighs and prepared to go home and use the "find and replace" function, as Vila seems to start half his sentences with "I guess" right now]
Due to TV, I speak mid-Atlantic, a mixture of both US and British English with some NZ special terms - e.g. I've had to ensure that they use specific British terms - e.g. 'trunks' or 'costumes' to go swimming in rather than 'togs'.
Writing the B7 crew in swimwear boggles my beginning writer's imagination entirely. I guess [see, there I go again!] I can see Vila in something baggy and colorful, Soolin in a silvery bikini, and Cally in a red one-piece, but when I hit the other men especially I blank. The scattered images I get are almost entirely indescribable.
But thanks for inspiring them!
