Re: [tips] The Canadian "about"and "out"
The difference between the way (some) Canadians pronounce these words and the way(s)Americans do is greatly exaggerated. Chris - Christopher D.

Re: [tips] The Canadian "about"and "out"
Speaking about bad accents, remember Paul McCartney's Dakota accent in Rocky Racoon? He couldn't keep it after second :30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNRH7_Kd5Ycbtw I ran "capital of Canada" past my kids and they of course knew it .. they were puzzled by the Harvard clip. If fairness to Harvard, US news outlets carry virtually _no_ news from Canada. When I got into short-wave international radio many years ago I thought I really would get international news and I was surprised at how much US news was covered, at least by the western european air waves.
