I disagree Yankee ( or yanqui as y'all southerners call yourself), eh. :p

[And.. I will not discuss differences in politics and morals. I don't to be invovled in a flame war]

[mireland]

can't we ALL just get along???http://www.fancysplace.com/smileys/smiley_dontknow.gif

[genesound]

Southerners in USA don't generally call themselves yankee in any form :eek: and I don't think I would go around suggesting that sorta thing either :t

These Canuks didn't seem to think it was aboat anything more than geography :t They were real happy to keep it real friendly like - how 'boat a beer? :D

[rick42]

Actually, my comments are normally taken out of context. (my mistake).

It was meant to show that the world in general may call Americans "yankee", whether or not the target people do. :)
I do find that, to my dismay, other peoples confuse Canadians and Americans. And they get upset that Chinese/Taiwanese/Japanese are not the same, as well as English/Scottish/Irish, German/Austrian, Russian/Lithuanian, etc (to almost infinity).

Sure, I'll toast!

[genesound]

Well then Rick, i think perhaps you're an humble and honorable gentleman ;)

Yeah, there's lotsa confusion :confused: amongst the tribes, and sects, and history, but we need a concerted effort to make it better, in education and intent :D :t

Cheers! :t

[genesound]

BTW, my people were French, fwiw :t

I'm pure 'merican :D :t

well at least as pure as one of European descent can get ;)

Are you sure you were in Canada? I don't know anyone that pronounces about "aboat". Sounds like they were having fun with you in more ways than one.

We do have close associations with our U.S. allies as many of our employers are U.S. run companies and our economy is closely tied to the U.S. Many of my friends and relatives work in the U.S. and some have become Americans literally. We're not all "up north" either; I live in an area that has warmer weather than many regions of the U.S. We are a huge country with a population not much larger than that of New York city and it's surrounding area.

[Billforce]

YeH! as a matter of fact, Southerners generally refer to Northerners as " DAMM YANKEES"!

[herosrest]

Time for some beethoven perhaps.. lst to post a .wav 'clip' wins. :eek:

[leprechaun_40]

Having just returned from Canada, the only thing I can say, is ( not knowing alot about the french canadians ) is that they are friendly, helpful and polite. Kinda remind me of "Leave it to Beaver" type of life, but hey, can't be all bad!!!

I sometimes wish people here in the U. S. would take a lesson from them.

As for being a Yankee, I am one, and proudly so. But I hold nothing against the Rebs:D

[genesound]

LOL :D

That was the point I was tryin to make about Canadians, they showed me a swell time :t

I still don't know anyone who says about "aboat"; but then I don't know everyone.



:t

[genesound]

:D :t

[fancyf]

I've massacred lotsss of words (I still do http://www.fancysplace.com/smileys/blush.gif), but "about" is not one of them http://www.fancysplace.com/smileys/Awink.gif

[genesound]

It's more of an inflection, really. Not really a long "o", but closer to that than "ou" as in ouch. My friend Stan acknowledges it, but his native tongue is english, btw. ;)



:t

[tasty danish]

so it sounds like aboot?
i say that all the time just to be a dork (no comments please:) )

[Ol'Tunzafun]

It is difficult to tell which part of Canada a person comes from by their accent with the obvious exception of French Quebec and Newfoundland which may be closer to Irish than the Canadian norm. I spoke to a guy today who spent his whole life in Nova Scotia up until last week and his speech was no different than that here on the prairie.
On the other hand, in the US, the differences from North to South and East to West are remarkable. The further South you go, the drawl is more pronounced and the further East you go the more the ou sound is pronounced.
The Canadian sound is a lot like West coast US, especially California, even more so than Oregon or even Washington State although the difference is subtle. The drawl rule doesn't seem to apply on the west coast.
