One thing I've noticed (as an American) is that most Canadians tend
to pronounce certain words a little differently than we do. The two I
notice the most and quickly come to mind are about and sorry.
Here in the States we tend to say "a-bow-t"(like take a bow) and
"saw-ry", whereas the Candians I've run across tend to say "a-boot"
and "sow-ry". I've also noticed it during interviews with some
Canadian actors as well. Just my observation.
Cheers,
Kristin
