I think the funniest/weirdest thing that americans do is claim that we pronounce the word 'about' like it was spelled 'aboot' which we clearly don't do. I also find it funny that they pronounce the word 'about' like it was spelled 'abawt'.

hey, maybe it's all relative....
I've never heard a Canadian say "aboot". I have heard them say, "aboat" though.


I don't know that Canadians have anything that is wierd nationally (like the Australians and their vegemite for example). I suppose the oddest thing we have is a greater appreciation for the fine sport of curling.

You can actually watch curling matches on TV and not just some specialty cable channel. I don't watch or play myself but I have noticed that a lot of people here do.
