that's ok. as the token canadian in our group there, my ACCENT got poked fun at, too. Of course I also did some poking (fun, you gutter dwellers, fun!), I think I ribbed TJ and Ambermoon a good bit. And maybe Scari also, I can't recall. And Spazzy had the good grace to point out every single bloody time I said EH, eh?

There was actually a lovely young lady from Belgium (I think?) that I met on the last morning, whose accent was closer to mine than Ambermoon's! (Oh and Mandy, Spazzy thought FRENCH was the primary language in Canada. I'm dead serious. ).

And I'm here in this country to improve my English I have to say I think I already got the "eh" thing not sure if it's an improvement or not

Mini constantly took the piss out of my accent. I have absolutely NO idea why, though!

Folks in the eastern maritime provinces have a very marked accent, imho, and a dialect that I can't even understand on a good day. i don't know what they're saying half the time and that archetype often ends up a character on Canadian TV as a "typical Canadian" (which is SO not true). So it's understandable how folks in the US and abroad might think we're either French, or impossible to understand.

Oh that's a good one, I just can't stop laughing

LOL. You say that like it's a bad thing! You know what? That's what I LOVED about Gabit. All the hugs. In fact, I think that may have been the last time I had a proper, proper hug. The two girls who came to my baptism gave very..... conservative, baby hugs.


I just noticed Julia on here... she gives awesome hugs too. In all seriousness, I loved the whole event, but I just ADORED the hugs.
