[Sca-cooks] Taunting a Maire... was Picking on Canadians?? TOTALLYOT OOP

[Sue Clemenger]

Actually, Gorgeous, my ears are quite fine.  I simply don't know
Canadians from very many provinces (just the lower parts of Saskatchewan
and Alberta), and I *was* specifying "the Canadians I know and their
friends," and not _everyone_ south of the border. Since I'm only a few
hours south of the US/Canadian border (in Montana), it's always seemed
to me to be more of a regional accent? There are some very slight
differences in vowels, and vocabulary, but we ("my" Canadians and I)
sound more alike than you and I probably do.
