The Accent Thread

[becca]

I used to think my Western Canadian accent didn't exist until in parts of the U.S. people wanted me to say things like "out and about on the roof with my Mom" and then laughing.

I think I do have a bit of a British accent in there though from relatives and neighbours as well as various telly programs. I'd say Vancouver Island has a distinct difference from the mainland anyway. I can definitely hear an Ontario accent in many people, there used to be a character on the U.K. 'Kiss Me Kate' comedy that was hilarious to me as he had it.
