Maybe instead of Canada being another American state, Wisconsin is a
lost province. Right around Beaver Dam (about halfway north), people
start saying "sow-ry" and "eh." We also say "come with," even in
southern Wisconsin. I had no idea that was a regional phrase!
We don't say "a-boot" or "a-gain" (as opposed to "a-gin"), though.
Those seem to be exclusively Canadian pronunciations.
