You Canadians and your spelling. Isn't it colour too?

Or maybe we're the strange ones.

Either way, I tease.

Anyone notice there are now 2500 replies :rolleyes1

Did you know taht you are less than 200 away from 3000 posts?
 
I think you guys are the strange ones! :upsidedow Haha, just jokin!

Yep we spell it Colour. And favourite, neighbourhood, those are all the ones I can think of off the top of my head. It feels weird spelling World of Color without the "u"!

Yay on 2500!! I made it to 500 posts yesterday, and I am not sure I am ready to be called a DIS Veteran! I am only just new!

I find it irony that they call what we speak English.
 

I find it weird that there has to be different spellings of the same word when we speak the same language. It's amazing how much is actually different on each side of that border line! I also find it amazing at how different the accents can be from state to state and province to province. We can usually tell when someone is originally from Eastern Canada, just by how they talk.

It works the same here. In the New York city area alone you can tell what neighborhood they are from. It is interesting hearing all he accents. I grew up in an Air Force town so I have always heard the different ones. Some are much more melodic than others.
 
Just from being a NKOTB fan when I was a kid, I have learned to be able to tell a Boston accent from a New York accent. And I can tell a Southern accent, but not a particular state. That's about it.

My daughters can tell what state a southern accent is from. Me not so much.
 
I can make 200 more posts easy peasy. maybe I should do my next installment word by word :rotfl:

I love hearing accents. I'm usually good at telling where the Southern ones are from. My step-mom helped me with that one. And most Nor'Eastern ones are pretty easy to discern.

And if you ever hear anyone say 'hecka' or 'hella' they are from California. <--- My cousin's rule (she's from Colorado).
 
Sea Living
Part 3​

What would days with pirates be without setting sail on the seven seas? Er ... I mean the Rivers of America! Same thing, really. Only here you can set sail on a ship or on a stern-wheeler riverboat. You can't really say that about the ocean now, can you? Well, I managed to get myself on board one of the two. So I present to you the Sailing Ship, Columbia!

After boarding (and getting boarded by *yes* more pirates) I ventured a look-sie below deck which is outfitted to resemble the life and environment that would have been found on the ship in the 1700's. It's like a little on-ship-Museum, only more interesting. Much, much more interesting. And since you're going to make the rounds of the Rivers of America, it's worth said look-sie. You've got bunks, a 'kitchen' with a nice meal a-brewing, Captain's quarters, and other nautical paraphernalia.

I agree with your cousin.

I need to ride on the Columbia.
 
We do say it! She came up with the rule because of my sistr and I. She had never heard anyone say it before and I use it a lot in my speech!!

You should, you should! Keep in mind if gets a little warm below deck!!

That is why you ride it in the morning.

And my 22 year old niece says it "hecka" times!!:lmao:
 
:rotfl: Why didn't I think of that. Man, I'm slow today.

And you have a great point. I never picked up on that one either! But yeah, it's cool to look around down there. I'll probably do it again to get different (better) photos. I also want photos of everything above the deck too.

I am sure that my girls will take pictures of the crew too. I am going to post the pictures that everyone else takes. That should be interesting.
 
Should be! I was hoping that back in the day Frick would post her own photos but that never happened. And I never got them while I was writing the majority of my report plus more photos to sort through scared me! I honestly haven't looked at many of them even though I've got them. I know there are some of me (like flying with Dumbo back in March'09). Maybe when I'm done with July'06 I can go through those too.

I think you should. I am actually getting really excited about this trip now.
 
I'm getting really excited for you!! Yay!! Yay!! I can't wait till you get to the actual trip part and come back and tell us all!!

I'm in an exclamation point mood today!!!!!!!!!!

I think I can keep some Disney photos coming until you leave.

Oh that sounds wonderful. I have a binder I am taking with me to take notes every night so that I can write down at least my thoughts or highlights until I can post them.
 
I love that idea. I kind of have something started. It's where I'm keeping all of my hotel info for now (along with my GAD printout and TS3 tickets) so I'll probably use it for the same thing come September-time.

OK, so I will leave this call up to you then: I have my next installment almost done. Should I stick to posting one a day to give us a little fix daily until I run out, or just keep going?
