Personally, I've considered emigrating to the Great White North, 'cause it's like a beauty way to go, eh. Like B.C. is gorgeous, and I haven't been to Toronto or Winnepeg or Calgary or Montreal or Nova Scotia or Edmonton, but like I want to eh.

Bah, when I went to Penticton in BC to visit my wife's family during Christmas, there was all this cold white shit on the ground, they tried to make me eat french fries with what looked like cottage cheese and brown gravy on them, they misspelled all their words (like color, flavor, etc.), and they didn't even take me baby seal clubbing.wcp wrote:good work indeed, but Myghin is right....Canada is awesome...we have fish! and......lumber! ohhhh ya!
Don't tell me about rock and roll I'm out there in the clubs and on the streets and I'm living it! I am rock and roll!

Blame it on Merriam Webster, who wrote the first American English dictionary and got kind of linguistically nationalistic...changed a bunch of spellings and altered some definitions to differentiate from the limey Brits.wcp wrote:IN Canada we give the letter U meaning....that's our new slogan

See, we're not lazy...just thrifty. You know how much extra money it costs to print out all those u's? And instead of printing out three letters for z (zed), we just print one. That's why you Canucks don't have 'THE BOMB'....you spend all your money on extra letters.wcp wrote:IN Canada we give the letter U meaning....that's our new slogan

I tease my wife about (or should I say aboot?) that all the time. We'll be comparing something in Canada to something in the US, and I'll tell her that Canada's not even a real country...that they all want to be Brits. She'll say that they're not....claim that it was Canadians who burnned down the White House during the War of 1812....claim that Canada invented basketball....etc. So I'll just tell her to come talk to me when, "Canada grows a pair, and kicks the Queen off of their money".KaelMwithascrubbrush wrote: Blame it on Merriam Webster, who wrote the first American English dictionary and got kind of linguistically nationalistic...changed a bunch of spellings and altered some definitions to differentiate from the limey Brits.

but we did do all that stuff by-tor, we also supply all your yank hockey teams with the best players, anotehr sport we made, and you took our football and twisted it to crap and claimed you invented it. and is it our fault the creator of your dictionary was slack jawed and couldn't spell?
