Me: Have you seen Titanic?

Canadian: What's that about?

Me: Yes, it was. A huge one that sank.

@dgar At least, the implication is Canadians pronounce "about" like "aboat", which is much more accurate than the asinine "aboot" which we're normally saddled with.

Thanks for explaining. EU here. I don't know what the Canadian accent sounds like. 😂

There is no "Canadian accent" because it differs across the country--it's regional.

@SnowyCA @n3wjack @dgar I didn't think we had an accent at all until we spent a couple of years in Kentucky, where we were told quite unequivocally we had an accent.

"Kentucky", I can see why.
Same if we go to the deep southern states.
For a while I lived in the western states and some people asked me to "speak Canadian"- our accents were nearly the same🙄

Believe it or not, there are Canadians who say aboot. You need to listen to more hockey broadcasts.
