-Jan - -phone call with Courage OT/Sandie

[Guest guest]

Ok, possibly. However, I do hear a hint of " Northern Exposure " or even just a

" norturn " type accent when I talk with Courage. Hear the same type-ish with

Minnesotans. A longer " yeaaaaaa " and as I mentioned " aboat " when using the word

" about " . It can take a bit when picking up on it. Love it though. I think,

overall, most in the midwest U.S. sound like most Canadians.

And, yes, my given name is . Don't use it much. Only heard it when my

mom was angry and got it tied in with my middle name. Now I only use it on

legal documents.

Thanks for corresponding. I have enjoyed this.

Take care, aye!

Well Sandie, I just gotta say that I always thought of us Canadians as the ones

without the

accent. Of course we have our Quebec influence and down east, but overall, uh

stand midway between those Britts and you in the US of A accent wise. Tuning

into TV

programming from the States may yield a few accents individual to the person

involved,

but overall, there are no accents! Most people in movies and TV series sound

like us, the

middle of the spectrums offered! So, you in the midwest must sound like us!

By the way, are you also a ???
