Make it an hour!

What idiot came up with the word “gonna”??????????

Yukoneric –A relative of Jeff Foxworthy?

It is in most dictionaries, though.

Is it any different than having words with silent letters in them?(ie psycology)

He does have a point.

In Boston “R” replaces “H”, especially in the last syllable

Accents are funny things. My Dad’s a Dutch immigrant to Canada. When he’s here, people say he has a Dutch accent. When he goes there, folks say he has a Canadian accent. The funniest thing was when we were at a Town Market. Every stall we stopped at, he would speak Dutch, only to have the vendor immediately switch to English. We kids thought it was hilarious!

yyyguy,

I don’t think that would happen in Quebec. They love the sound of their own language too much.

my brother and i played hide and seek when i was 7 , he hid me in the pantry cupboard and went down the street to play basketball, my mom got home from work 3 hours later and my brother caught heck

yyyguy: The internet is amazing; the things we learn accidentally. MY paternal grandparents were French-Canadian, and moved down to Minnesota, where my dad was born, and then out to California. Unfortunately, they were both gone by the time I came along, so I never got to ask them anything about Canada or why they moved. My maternal grandparents were born and raised in Spain, and came to the U.S. after they were married. What strange rolls of the cosmic dice produces us.

This is interesting guys I found out by way of the internet my great grand parents on Dad’s side emmigrated from Prussia in the 1800’s Apparently it was part of Germany then

@bc13;

You also have to take into consideration whether the person can speak English in the first place, and how good they are at it.

@bc13: As a Canadian, I can tell you it’s not as cut and dried as that. I love the French, but some in Quebec refuse to speak French to an Anglophone trying to speak French. Like the Dutch, they switch to English.

Don’t know why. On the other hand, the French in my provence are only to glad to encourage an Anglophone like myself to speak French. It shows that I recognise their contribution to, and part of this great country, eh?
