I've lived in Canada all my life and I've never NEVER NEVER EVER heard ANYONE, EVER, pronounce "about" as "aboot." I can't even imagine that, it sounds absolutely incorrect in every possible way.

I HAVE heard Canadians say 'aboot' ; not many times, but I have. Not that theres anything wrong with that.

Oh yeah and lysergicide; based on what youve said elsewhere, you might want to check this place out while youre in the Vancouver area

CANADIANS DO NOT SAY "ABOOT"

Yes its true, its "about" I dont know were you americans got such a silly idea. And yes we do say "Eh".And dont complain about knowing some canadians who say "Aboot"
Bottom line we dont say it. And its zed, not zee!!!
Do you realy say "Yous"?



I worked around a canadian for a couple months and if it wasn't aboot, it was pretty close, but then I reckon it also depends what part of canada you are from. And depending where you are from in the US you'll say, you or yous or ya or some other weird accent from the south or boston or something....

"Howday, I was in thee neyborhood an' I noticed that y'all seem a lil' 'tressed over somethin'. What can I do fer' ya?" I know very few people with a 'southern accent'. Then again, Florida isn't really considered part of the Deep South. We're kinda just down there. Next to Cuba.

I think it's the British that say aboot instead of about. But I could be wrong.

God, that pisses me off so much.... they've had such a long time to work things out, and they still can't agree on anything. The players will not accept a salary cap. The owners will have it no other way. One side will have to give eventually for anything to happen.
