I loved that one. I would make my kiwi friend say garage all the time. He got really annoyed by it. |
That's what's great about being Canadian. You can speak anybody's version of English.

Well, I've been mock-criticized for my word choices here before, and I'd like to say that it's not necessarily a matter of choosing to sound like anybody else. It's simply a matter of spending a lot of time speaking to people who use localized terminology, and it rubbing off on my every day dialogue.

I mean, sure I sometimes joke around ie the whole football/soccer thing but some people take this stuff really seriously. I'm going to talk the way I talk regardless because it's correct for the part of the world I reside in and because language is forever evolving and changing anyway. |
@ Pedestrian:
I never had that problem. I think the biggest thing that ever happened to my communication after having moved from my hometown and lived in other places and in Europe is that I lost my particular accent I grew up with. (thankfully) And I've been on forums predominantly populated by Brits for years. Still never felt the need to start talking like them, outside of a few intentional jokes or what have you.
