XIX Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 The e-mail contained the word "eh." discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintOlaf Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I find this to be a disturbing trend, especially since I live so close to Canada (Detroit actually touches Canada, which I find to be a little gross). I went to school in the far north of Michigan where we had much contact with Canadians that crossed the border to go to our school. Many of the words out of their mouths were "eh" and I must admit for a time I picked up on it. That being said, we should forgive Canadians for the "eh" since they are almost always far more polite than those of us in the states, I've never met a rude Canadian.

hoosieranna Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) You typed "aboot"! You remain flippin' awesome. I can type "crick" if you want to hear the stereotypical accent for my region. Or "antanna" and "warsher." Edited April 28, 2008 by Nadezhda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
