Reminds me of that old classic line that Jimmie Carter used at the end of
his campaign speeches (in the South) when he was running for president. He
would say, "Wouldn't it be nice to elect someone to the white house who did
not speak with an accent?"
We all talk different from each other. And outsiders do sound and look
funny.

When I called Leigh jigs a couple of days ago the girl who helped me on
the phone had the most delightful Canadian accent, almost
Minnesooooatan. I fell in love, sight unseen!
When I complimented her on it, she said I was aboot to say the same
aboot you!

My favorite accent of all is a Scots ... not surprising, one of my
favorite authors has always been Sir Walter, especially when he writes
in dialect.

Don't forget:
"Y'all" is singular.
"Y'alls" is plural.
"Y'alls all" is plural possessive.

It deal with the fact that you guys say you're from America... well, so
are we. Except, you're from The States and we're Canadian. A difference
as subtle as the 'b' in 'subtle.
=================
The main difference between Canuckies and Americans is
"Eh?" and "Huh"?
It took me some time to get comfortable to the response to "Thank you" with
"Uh, huh", instead of the old "You're welcome."
It always sounded a little snarky and inconsiderate at first. Now I notice
Canadians starting to do it too.

It's a little rough on the shingles of an American rough, always get me,
even as an American resident.

I have lots of relatives in Iowa and "Wiscanson" (mostly farmers) and every
time I talk to them I just want to take a trip! I love they way they talk. :-)

====================
Then there is the Canadian illiteracy low levels that use an expression to
signify completion. It may be woodworking or metalworking related too. I was
never sure how many "alls" you could have.
"Alls ya' have to do is..."

I like the one that voids it all, the picture and the caption that we
in the USA call our selves Americans and the whole article of pictures
states How Canadians know you'er an American.
DOH! We know we are Americans and so do the Canadians.
