Canada looks so nice, if only the spoke English there and not Canaden I might visit more often.

Okay, not a campground pic of Canada, but one of Lake Cameron in BC, near where we camped.

mister d,
If you can pronounce "Eh", then you have all the translation you'll need. [emoticon]

Heck, our lingo, vocabulary, etc. is much more like yours than in England, Scotland, Wales, New Zealand, Australia......

Granted in the late 60s I went to visit some people in mountain cove territory in North Carolina. We were early at the meeting place. The neighbors had seen us pass and came over to check on us. It took me a 1/2 hour or more to begin to understand the words they were saying. So, y'all can do pretty well, yourselves.

& I, I took the road less travelled by.

LOL, I was just kidding around. I live 20mins from Canada, hang with Canadian friends, and never noticed a difference besides the "eh" and words like "a boot" (about). One of these days I'm going to teach my buddies how to spell color right without the "u" [emoticon]

When I worked in Texas long ago, I went to a restaurant that specialized in sea foods. I ordered some shrimp and also asked how they fixed them. I was asked if I "wanted bald shrimp?" I looked at my wife and she being a great cook, I expected that I just wasn't familiar with that kind of cooking. The blank stare I got back told me I was wrong. I asked the waitress again about the shrimp and again I was told that had bald shrimp. I asked how they fix them and I then figured out what she was saying. She told me that they take a large pot a "balling" water and then throw the shrimp in until they are "bald" completely thru. After I got done laughing, I order my fresh dinner of "bald shrimp". Canadians have nothing on us as far as needing a translater! [emoticon]
