Jack is categorically, inarguable, undeniably NOT Australian. He is speaking with a (rather terrible impression of a) Cockney accent. This accent, especially when emulated by American actors, has a torrid history of confusing American listeners, who often muddle it with Australian, but they're really quite clearly different if you stop to ''listen''. You can't hear the difference between Jack and Jim Crook? The Australian accent has drawled vowel sounds, the British accent is clipped. The phoenetic descriptions of a few words in this article? "Lit'l?" That's Cockney. The Australian pronunciation would be "Liddle." It's supposed to make him sound snooty and demeaning to the other characters, which is Jack's whole shtick. That's not what an Australian accent conveys at all. And you'll find a few instances of Jack using British idioms - why, I was watching episode 68 last night, in which he refers to Yusei and Crow as "you lads" - and zero instances of him using stereotypical Australian idioms like "bonzer" or "fair dinkum" or "dingo" or "crook" or whatever, which the speech of both Jim and Valon - another dub Aussie - were peppered with (EDIT: I'm sure there actually MUST be some instances of "mate", as that's a British idiom too). He is utterly, utterly British. -- [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Chris McFeely|contribs]]) 23:41, March 23, 2012 (UTC)
