Medea is from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, currently living in southern Japan.
She wrote an entire post the other day on words which are unique to Canada. I didn't know there were so many. She says not all of them say "aboot" and "eh".
Anyway, welcome Medea. I notice you and Andrea are already acquainted so maybe she'll add to your name to the list.
Merry Christmas although yours is almost past by now.

Mery, Merry Christmas.
Well done to You and Ray for making it through another year and
please give your three little ones a BIG Christmas hug from us.
Sharon, Wayne and Raymond
A very Merry Christmas to all of you and I say "eh" all the time, sometimes even on purpose, eh?
One of my other favourites is "dink".
Ah, none of us really say aboot or hoose. It's just as close as you can come to saying what you hear us saying. I can't really say hawse and abawht the way I think I hear you saying it either. And some of us purposely overdo the "eh?" thing when in the presence of Americans. Not that there aren't some who use it a lot.
