Some people call them Chalupas (like Toca Bell) it drives me up a wall, thank goodness we call them CIMs this year.

We still call them Chalupas... :)

I, for one, think the chalupa thing was great. I've called them that since last year when someone (was it you, DJ?) started calling them that here.

Aluminum -----> Alunumin

Pronounciation......

Do you have any idea how many times I was asked to say "About" at the GLR???

Canadians do NOT say "Aboot" (you guys do).

As well, "Hockey" is not pronounced "Hackey" ;)

Next weekend is the Canadian Regional.......so it'll be our turn to make the Americans say funny words ;)

EH!!!!!!!!! I'm looking forward to hearing classic Canadian pronunciations of words next week ;)

I can't defend that we say "eh", cause we do (and some more than others).

But, I also noticed that Americans have something of their own as well - you guys use "huh", where we use "eh".

And Kristen....I'll find some "fun" Canadian words just for you..... :)

Funny pronounciations? Hrm.. I cant think of anything really.. oh wait :)

Hehe.. when our team captain accepted the alliance she really stumbled over the words.. lol

"Team 658 gratefully expects.. um, accepts.. this.. alliance"

hehe..

I'd laugh...but...uhh...Northeast Pennsylvania has our _own_ language. If you mush every word you say together then say it really slowly after turning 'ing' into 'in,' 'creek' into 'crick,' and making every sentence a fragment...then you will be accepted here. Ohh...and Pennsylvania is the only state that says their abbreviation when you ask us where we're from:) (So where are you from? I'm from Pee-Yay.)

Ehh? :D Now I feel the need to watch Canadian Bacon.

hmmm its a lot of fun listening to all the michigan boys talk...they make fun of us, so we make fun of them...

No, it wasnt me...I have a feeling it was 1 of 2 people...both have been on team 45...so im going to go do some research on it ;)

Edit:

Ok I was wrong, it was from a close friend of Team 45, Paul Copioli of the Thunderchickens!!

don't canadians call the bathroom a washroom??

haha..anyway, the moderator for my team, if i remember correctly, she pronounced Aluminum---> aluminalimun

my friends and i play on words like scissors, or skizzors..

calculator, or cacalator..lol :p

hehe... I am suprised evulish didn't comment on my speaking.... I have a slight German accent... I tend to roll my r's and say Washington as WaRshington and such things as that! Bah!

I use both.

Not to mention that some Canadians don't say it at all. Like me for example. ;) Ok, so maybe I'll say it once in a while, but not very often.
