I don't want you guys telling me how Canadians say "aboot" or "eh" at the end of each sentence all the time, I wanna know if you actually find there is an obvious audible difference between Canadian English and the standard American English. Easy, right?  |
I always thought Kate from "Lost" and Avril Lavigne were American, in all honesty. There's some cosplayers on youtube I thought were American until they explicitly said on one video they weren't. I also remember a guy coming into a shop one day and asking 'who's the American?' and him flipping out because he was Canadian . . . so no, I can't honestly hear a difference at all XD
Edit: I think that American accents are so diverse - for example a Texan is nothing like a New Yorker - and we're exposed to American accents on a daily basis, that for the untrained ear it's just easy to assume that the Canadian is American, and their accent is just another subset of American accents.
