I don't believe any of you. :P Nam kept telling us that nobody says "eh", then when we went up and visited, we heard it EVERYWHERE. :lol: I giggled everytime I heard it.

Oh, and I say "roof", darn it... but I do know a lot of people that say "ruff". :uhh:

Lots of Canadians seem to say 'aboat' instead of 'about' or 'aboot'. Which is also funny :lol:
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

I've definitely heard "aboot" and "eh", especially from my grandparents, who are canadian.

I've never ever in my life heard someone say "ruff", though.

I've heard lots of Canadians say 'aboat' - it's much less noticeable than 'aboot' though, I think you have to be actively listening to how they're saying it.

The lead singer of Three Days Grace said the words 'out' and 'about' so many times as 'oat' and 'aboat' when I saw them on Wednesday I got the giggles :)

I love how Canadians say sorry. Fuff it. I sold some tv screens to some Canadians in Ontario, and they said eh on the phone about a bizillion times. It was great fun. I like to say eh. I feel so freaking Canadian. My coworkers were talking about that commercial and I felt like one!
