Question

Is it an "o" sound like "tough"
(Like the american way of saying "roof")
Or
Is it an "o" sound like "proof"
(Like the Canadian way of saying "roof")

What is your vote?

Well, assuming that all you Canadian's speak english. The proper English pronunciation would be "woof-er", the American way of saying "roof". You see when Canadian's pronounce some words they have a funny Canadian accent present. If you wish to speak correct English, please pick up a Webster's dictionary at your local library. And you will see that the correct way to speak English and to pronounce words is typically how American's say it! Now I know you all may get heated by this but I mean come on admit it, just look in any dictionary, and you will see that most of the way you all pronounce words sounds funny!

or if your canadian, you would realize that no matter how much acid your on, dictionarys STILL don't talk, so it wouldn't help you much in this example.

LOL first of all I was just teasing. Come on a little friendly American elbowing. And secondly, Fargo is quite far from being accurate in our pronunciation! Nobody I know in MN, or in the Dakotas talk like that. I was pissed when that movie came out. Because I don't know where they researched how the damn people talk! Come on man this is my board! You know I don't visit any other car audio boards except this one!
