Put them all together and you have experts who say DDL sounded "like Lincoln"!!Officially awaiting Douchebagnacht II since

You Missed A Word
There are guesses -- and then there are EDUCATED guesses.
As much as is humanly possible, DDL researched the subject of Lincoln's voice and came up with what historians and educators who are far superior to me on the subject, have said was as close AS CAN BE DETERMINED to Lincoln's speaking voice.
I'll go by their statements, thank you."If I owned Texas and Hell, I'd rent out Texas and live in Hell!"

your premise makes no sense
basically what happened was they did research and IMAGINED what he would sound like and DDL projected what they imagined. yet it was a realistic portrayal?
I dont think the flick was that great, either. Was expecting a lot more the way you raved about it.Officially awaiting Douchebagnacht II since

Wow. Just had a lesson with my Spanish teacher and I realize that Kelly Green's position is a great chance to use the subjunctive mood!
All of this stuff about DDL's voice is subjunctive, except for KG's opinion which is definitive!
Might have to work this into my next lesson! F U Rosetta Stone!--------
