...doesnt mean your knowlegeable about Canada.

I got a perfect score on that test, but to be honest I probably know a better outline of Mexican history than I know about Canadian....yeah, it does look alot like the USA, but I think the history is pretty different, as is the political system.....Canada is still a mystery to me.

We're taught from birth how to say please and thank you and "would you like some tea?", then, when your back is turned, THWACK!

When i was in Toronto they people seemed kind of glum and standoffish. Maybe it was my bad breath.

3. No mystery to me...

I've spent a whole lot of my life in Canada without ever technically having lived there. Growing up 155 miles from the border during part of my childhood (and currently living) helped too.

8. Except..

The lady news reader who last night, while commenting on the "Top Guitar Riffs" thingy said "Number 2 is Nir-VAN-a, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' "...VAN as in a vehicle.

Meh, I can forgive that I guess. ;)

10. reprehensor and I have a constant quarrel over pronunciation!

U.S Canada

pah-sta vs. paaa-sta
ga-rahge vs. graaaaj
khaaaaki vs. khocki

When we first started talking on the phone, I teased him because he said "sothewest." He teased me back because I say "cuuuk" instead of cook and "buuuk" for book. He has even more fun with cuuukbuuuk.

We still tease each other. Keeps the marraige interesting.

9. ...doesn't mean you should!

:evilgrin:

[demgurl]

12. Then again, sometimes it does!

I can name them all and I spent my first 18 years living there!
