Ironically, as a 10 year veteran of the US Navy, I understood EXACTLY
what you said. The Navy seems to have adopted many of the words of
your story.
Though I understood, I could not put the proper infliction on
pronunciation. While Canadians certainly speak English, their dialect
is strictly their own.
I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. The other day I had to call Comcast's
tech support for some internet troubles. The person the helped me was
in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
