If there had been any Canadians at the school on class at the time, I would have never made the comment as I know using the term A means nothing in respects to class. Although, try to hear the term A in Ottawa Ontario.

Likely has something to do with his name, although I'd have to defer that to Anders himself for exact reasons. I would also beg to differ with respect to which class of Canadian uses the "eh" euphemism. Class itself is a matter of opinion with respect to who fits in where, and I've heard Canadians from very well off to not so much use "eh". I've even been known to use it myself and I certainly don't place myself in what might be considered lower class. Now, Bob and Doug MacKenzie, or those two mousse in the Brother Bear movie exaggerated its use quite well, eh? Later...

I can say that being Cnadian. Although when I was on class at an American guide dog school, my nationality was brought into question as I did not say \A, at any time. Thus my earlier comment. There were no other Canadians on class with me so, I felt I was safe. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Anders Holmberg Sent: September 23, 2017 2:50 PM To: 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: Siri is still pretty stupid Hi! I don’t know what to think really. SOme Iphone and apple fans, especially one blind guy i have seen on some swedish list is really happy about siri. He could get opening and closing times for a specific store somewhere in sweden. I can not do the same with google assist in swedish.
