Talking 2 Americans
what's it all aboot?
Does anyone else get tired of having Americans say "you said aboot"? It's cute as first but after a while it starts to become reminiscent of some Beavis and Butthead episode.
"Hey Beavis, that guy said aboot..."
"ya, ya hehheh that's pretty funny"
"Canadians talk funny..."
Anyway, those of us who deal with yanks daily have stories that rival Rick Mercer's foray's into the US with his comedy show "talking to Americans". Basically Americans seem fond of Canada, they seem fairly aware that Canadians have pretty much the same culture as they do, but they don't really know much about us other than that. Probably it's because they don't see Canadian television shows or movies (neither do we usually either).
