I don't talk like that, surely? Actually the Americans make fun of us Canadians. They say that we pronounce out and about as oot and aboot. Pity us poor Canadians being halfway between Brits and Yanks, we even have a problem with dates. If we see 1/10/ 1920 we don't know what it means because a Brit would say Jan.10 and a Yank Sept.1 or t'other way around. See what I mean, I don't know. Margaret

Ah, Margaret.... and now you live in Canada do you pronounce words like Mouse as Mose or Town as Tone??
