About Canada:

-We have pet beavers (i hope you've seen those old beer commercials.)
-That we live in igloos
-That it's cold all year long (try 38 degrees celsius in the summer. that's like.. 100 farenheit or something like that)
-That we're all french (contrary to popular belief, that's only PART of our population)
-That we say Eh & Aboot (sure we say Eh, but then again people from all over the world say that. as for aboot.. never heard that.)

i live in home sweet home Kentucky...
prolly everyone thinks that every single person that lives in Kentucky has an accent...
i do not...
it's weird, but if u go like 50 miles south of here, your in accent country...
i mean, we have the Florence Y'all watertower, and that thing pretty much says it all, but not everyone goes around saying y'all...

[Figments Pal]

I'm from Wisconsin (but right on the MN border) and this December I took a trip with a team to Boston for a conference. And yes, I apparently do talk like a Wisconsinite. I didn't think I did, but everyone could guess where I was from.

(and all the other stereotypes listed above...we get that alot, you're right.)

 

[Zbaby]

Found another one for Wisconsin. Racist. Black people voted Wisconsin as worst place for black people to live. That's shocking.

this will back up the whole french thing i mentioned.
i was talking to my french teacher and i was like waving my hands around everywhere because i couldn't think of the word i needed. and she asked me if i was french. i just looked at her like she was crazy. sure i speak french but my native tongue is english and both sides of my family are like scottish & british.

England:

we travel by umbrellas (according to the simpsons)
we are all polite and posh
have a strange accent (i sure don't)
sweeter candy (i think that's true...)

how about a dictionary thing:

American - English
candy - sweets
jello - jelly
jelly - jam
soccer - football
football - rugby
fries - chips (sometimes)
chips - crisps
mall - shopping centre
center - centre
color - colour
favorite - favourite
underwear - pants
pants - trousers
meter - metre
dollar - pounds
cents - pennies

that's all i can think off (and i guess that includes something about what we are talking about... oh yeah we write funny...)

Apparently I talk like a Wisconsinite too. I went to a football game with my dad and his friend. His son also came along, and when we got home his friend emailed him saying how his son said he had never heard a real Wisconsinite talk before. Hmmm...
