  1. Out, about, decal


  2. About

    And they use "eh."

    They generally have the same accent, too.

    Edit: I mean Americans and Canadians have the relatively same accent, unless they're from Quebec, because they speak French there.

  3. out-- oot, oat

    sorry-- sorey

    house-- hay-oose

    and they say "eh" more than the average american :)

  4. i know they say phone instead of call.

    ex: "i'll phone you."

    and they say "eh" after almost every other sentence...

  5. Hmm... I don't really know. I'm a Canadian and every time I head to the USA, everybody seems to speak the same way...

    But we do spell a bit differently: (Canadian spelling first) favourite/favorite; colour/color; centre/center etc.

    EDIT:

    I've never met a single person that says out OAT or about like that either, and we do NOT say eh after every sentence, in fact I rarely ever hear anyone say it.

    Oh and about the I phone you/I call you thing, I've always said "I'll call you" so I don't know about that.

    But trust me, most of those things Americans say about Canadians are just stereotypes; our English is exactly the same.

  6. they say out OAT and they say about the same too like aboat and alot of them lisp and they say pasta paasta, and they say pecans pecaans lol
