I've seen too many of those kinds of comments in the review part of a recipe. I think I read those reviews just for the humor of it! Seriously people, if you CHANGE the recipe, you can't complain to anyone but yourself if it tastes like garbage.
I thought it was good except for "aboot".None of our Canadian friends seem to care for it so far...
I don't think anyone is offended. I'm not. Just tired of the "aboot" jokes. We can hear that we say it differently than Yanks do, but doesn't sound like "a boot" to us.Well, I was hoping I hadn't offended anyone...
I know. It's really hard to explain the difference. We've heard lots of Yanks trying to imitate it by saying "a boot".taxy, I must have spent five minutes searching for a closer phonetic spelling than that. Looked ALL over. It just can't be spelled out. I suppose I could have looked for an audio clip, but I have a short attention span.
So you can speak normally on either side of the border.Being half Canadian, I find I can slip in and out of the accent quite naturally, especially when I'm in Canada. Most of the time I can talk like normal people.
