Well at least someone has made the connections between Canadian and American spelling and literature.We also don't actually say "eh" that often as Americans percieve us to. Anyone seen that Beer commercial with the Canadian guy in the American office? Oh ya we don't chew gum and drink coffee at the same time either like Clint Eastwood.

:huh:

You guys are weird!

Um....whoops...:D:D:D:D:D:D....This is when my avatar suits me

I just deleted half of your post, you might wanna type it again :D:D I gotta learn the difference between the "edit" and "quote" buttons....:D:D:D

Anyways, what I meant to do was quote that much of the post and say that I'm east Canadian and I use "buggered" and "bootin' around" ALL the time. I use all of those except "chesterfield", but my friend's mom calls all couches Chesterfields, so I have heard it used before :D

I assure you, it's no joke :D:D

i'm too lazy to type it all up again

but you eastern canadians are weird :D hehe

maybe only the canadians in the so called "golden triangle" are just like the U.S. cause we're basically in the states

Blame it on the Newfies...they're the real odd ones :D

Their time zone is half an hour ahead of EST and half an hour behind AST...they invented their own time zone....they're the odd ones...really! :D:D:D

hahaha, you're all a bunch of fishermen, hahahaha :D like all the boston people :D hehe

Fisherman...heh...


Not me though. I've only fished once when I was little and I hated it. Too impatient....

Found another one: http://www.inter-play.com/translation/voc-ukus.htm

This one is better though, it has more words and includes British.

You Americans are wierd...."garter"? "Spigot"? "Billfold"?:confused:

all of them are so in-accurate
like have you ever heard anybody in the U.S. call a car an automobile... like on the street?
that's more proper, more like a british person would say it

I've heard aboot that dictionary!:D :D

Actually, alot of them are very acurate. Even down here in SW Ontario :). And don't knock the Newfies - they are great people :)!
