You're fluent!

Wow! I was just about to make this very comment. Your Canadian is even better than your French.

Thank you both for all of your help.

You know, I really should pay you for your time spent here helping me. Do you accept Canadian Tire?

Is that what they spend up there? - Hawk~

Dude, people don't do that anymore

Even in the backwoods people don’t say that anymore!

Okay thanks.

I’m going to eat my poutine and beaver tails, and then I’ll checking this site out, for sure.

Des is slowly regaining her sanity (unfortunately?)

Funny

I have those exact same entries in my Scottish/American dictionary.

Actually,

Scottish is much more complicated than American. ;)

Well, for that...

...I have a Scots dictionary. These are just those weird words you all use but I’ve never heard of (like “hob”) and all those different food names…

calypte happy holiday-of-your-choosing, everyone! :)

lol!

I never realised how many ‘Scottish’ words there are in my everyday speech until a German friend kept complaining she couldn’t find anything in the dictionary!

The one that amazes me most is that apparently ‘outwith’ is a Scottish thing – I can’t believe that’s true!

headapollo mostly comes out at night, mostly

That explains

...why everyone looks at me funny when I say outwith.

The first two

sound more Scottish, than Canadian. ;)

RP is swimming through paper.

That explains

why there are portions of central Virginia that sound like that too. I have mistaken some Virginia natives for Canadians briefly for this reason.

Never met a Canadian who spoke like that

Hoose and aboot? Where are you guys learning this from? The only time I have ever heard people speak like what was when I watched Fargo, and then when I spend some time in Northern Minnesota in the US.

Confusing.

Perhaps it was a chocolate mousse?

If I’m not mistaken there is a song about a moose being loose aboot the hoose.

I can't imagine...

...the damage that would cause. Either that, or the songwriter had an awfy big hoose.
