Calling all Canadians (and anyone else with a sense of humor)!!

[Jadey]

Ya can't use "eh" at the end of any old sentence like that. It just doesn't work that way. "Eh" is mostly used at the end of a statement, when you're asking for someone else's opinion. For example, "It's pretty cold out today, eh?".

Do Americans really eat "omelets"? Light their "cigarets" with "sulfur" matches, and drop the butts on the "kerb"? That's even wackier than calling Z "zee".

Jadey: it makes SOME sense. I'm saying "It strikes me as humorous... eh?", as in, what about you?

I know, I know. Use "eh" where we use "huh". "It's cold out, huh?" But it did make SOME sense the way I used it--just not a whole lot

Scruffy: we eat omelettes, light cigarettes, and drop them on the curb; don't worry... (well, actually, I don't eat omelettes, don't smoke, and try not to make any more of a mess than I have to )

As for sulphur/sulfur, the dictionary says Sulphur. You don't refer to cigs as "sulphur cigarettes", do you?

[Jadey]

scruffy, remember that page was about Canadian english versus British english as well as American english. Some spellings/expressions may be used in England, not "the states"

[Bluefusion]

Yeah, all of the things Scruffy pointed out are incredibly strange English spellings "kerb"? wtf? like kerberos?

Another silly web page: the Canadian snack review:

Learn that something called "ketchup chips" can be REALLY good!

And some other interesting opinions on the Big Turk...

[scruffy]

Ah, I see. I am somewhat reassured.

Do the British spell things that way? I know it's "sulphur" there too (my Dad is a chemist and from England...). The others strike me as too odd even for the Brits.
