Come to Canada and you'll hear it all! Down south they say ruf (like a dog), and we say roof. Is it a couch or a chesterfield? Is it "about" or "a boot"? And the whole "zed" "zee" thing really depends on who you talk to... I think the french say "zee" but we're suppose to say "zed".
Pillow or pellow?
Milk or melik?
Spoon or spun?
Anyone know what a touque is besides us up here?I worked at a ski hill and we got a lot of aussies, and they would ask what kind of clothing they should dress their kids in. And so I would ask if they had a touque, and they'd be like umm... is it that cold? Do we really need one of those? Then my boss would jump and say, oh she meant a beanie, not a neck warmer. A TOUQUE IS A WINTER HAT!!!!Eh?
