Ditto what Netwit said .... which OP? This topic was started 7 years ago by somebody who is no longer a forum member and never had a location listed on their profile. During the past 7 years it has had literally dozens of new "Canadian Accent" topics merged with it because the Canada forum was getting inundated with topics about Canadian pronunciation being different from American pronunciation.
The majority of original posters who have started each new topic that's gotten merged with this one have been Americans who apparently aren't capable of comprehending the 'Sticky' at the top of the Canada forum. Canadians rarely enquire about how people from other countries pronounce words and couldn't care less about how other Canadians talk. It's a non-issue for Canadians but it is obviously an obsessive fascination for many Americans and many of them are truly distressed about it.
I know that not all Americans are concerned about Canadian speech but I do think that the numerous Americans who are so fixated and clearly distressed with Canadian speech have got some kind of mental health problem.
Most people find the Paul Dean accent amusing too. But Canadian can be just as strong as southern. The way you guys say your vowels "oooat" "abooat" ect. is very interesting and if you don 't mind me saying.. Cute. The Canadian Accent has real sweet, childlike quality to it ( maybe childlike Is't the right word?). But there is something inherently sweet about it. It makes me chuckle and smile in delight at the same time.
Got anything else other than ooat and abooat? Glad we childlike Canadians bring amusement to your life We are a very generous society and delight in bringing amusement to Americans with so little effort....
Oh for crying out loud - S/he's is back again with the same old dead give-away patronizing platitudes of "should be flattered", "cute", "childlike", "charming", "delightful", "sweet", "makes me smile". How many times have we heard these exact same broken-record words from the same person under each new persona?
Jambo and everyone else, please don't feed the sock puppet!
Torontonian's don't really have an accent compared to the rest of the country. Just drive a half hour east to Oshawa and you can definitely pick up the accent. The further you get from Toronto the stronger the accent.
