Yes, but to our ears you southerners say a-bay-out.

;-)

Of course we Canadians have lots of different local accents (the Newfoundland 
accent probably being the best known - rumour has it that local Newfies can 
actually tell what fishing village one comes from by their accent). 

That being said the central Canadian accent is so flat and neutral that quite 
a few Canadians are newsreaders down south (as in the USA). Robert Macneil 
(Macneil - Lehrer Report), Keith Morrison, Peter Jennings and John Roberts (we 
knew him as JD Roberts) come to mind. Oh yeah, and the Scud Stud, what was 
his name, Arthur Kent?

cheers,
frank

I went to college at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, which 
is only about 90 miles north of where I live, but populated with people 
mostly from Chicagoland and central Illinois. I didn't come back home to 
visit for several months at first, and when I did, I was astonished at 
how much my ear had grown attuned to the flat, Midwestern accent. There 
were even a couple of times when I couldn't make out what one of my 
friends' girlfriends was saying.


My part of Kentucky has a very heavy Irish influence -- Buchanans , 
Dunns  Sullivans abound, and it's very apparent when you're not used to 
hearing it. I really was taken aback at first.
