Before I endeavour to contribute to this fascinating topic, I thought that it would be a good idea to clear up a couple of key points of confusion for folks from outside of North America: Canadian versus American English.
Here is a brief expose on the matter by two NAM cuties....
The other key issue of contention is the Canadian pronunciation of the popular word “out”. Our American friends, for reasons known only to themselves, insist that we in the True North Strong and Free say: “out“ in a manner that rhymes with “boot” - the widely used item of footwear.
This is simply not correct.
However, in the Canadian spirit of non-confrontationalism (except on hockey rinks where we are decidedly confrontational - and invariably successful, particularly when we play our American friends), I present this brief treatise on the issue.
...and so, I will, for now, leave you with this excellent expose of how Canadians speak English from across our 8,000 km (around 5200 mile) wide country. As you will clearly note, we do NOT f@cking say “
oot and
aboot” - in any way, shape or form.
..more to come once I have calmed down.
