Although the Canadian accent... - Vancouver
Although the Canadian accent... Language, accents & slang Review

<p align=justify><font face='times new roman' color=#000000 size=-1>Although the Canadian accent really does sound like a bizarre mixture of Scottish and American, on no account point this out to a native, or they will get strangely irate and you will rapidly lose any chance you might have had of them inviting you back to their hoose to talk aboot it. And especially do not tell Canadians they are in fact just like Americans or there is even less chance of them inviting you to their hoose. In fact they will probably sit doon with you to eat hoping that you choke on a fish boon. Tip: if in doubt, order chicken or beef.

Review Helpfulness: 1.5 out of 5 stars
