the only problem i have with deadwood is that most of the characters are probably illiterate... yet they all try to talk like they went to prep school. except swerangen, he keeps it pretty real.
i can understand farnam doing it, it works for him to try and pretend he's educated by using words he had no fucking clue about. but whores and claim jumpers shouldn't be pretending they have more than a 30 word vocabulary. it gets pretty annoying and unfitting of the characters after a while.

dont forget, this is in the 1870s when the majority of English spoken is derived from 'proper' English, so if someone uses a word or sentence structure you may not like or understand in no way does that make it unrealistic.
charlie utter, and ellsworth, to name the first few that pop into my head.
My post aside - which was obviously made in jest - I think it's funny how if someone says they don't like something you like, the natural reaction is a personal attack. Nice work fellas!

maybe you should grow some testicles and stop wearing the dress in the family. Oh, and you might want to check on dinner, i wouldn't want your roast to dry out.
Are you talking about Flop-ear from a recent episode and the guy who killed Wild Bill, I think called Droop-eye or something (Bill called him a cunt)? Because they looked damn similar...
