Why? They have the cleanest english there, don't they? IMO it appears to be on par with BC, so I at first didn't catch the gist of why you said that.

Oh, and it's 'woofer' as in the amurrican way of saying 'roof'.

I guess using the American/Canadian way of pronouncing "roof" was a bad analogy, got a little side tracked [img]smile.gif[/img]

Back to my original post I agree with kicker - like the American "roof" (The same things that dogs say "wuff" not "w-ewe-ph")

And to Mr. East side if your pronouncing of "roof" is so right, then why is it that when the majority of American's say "roofer," they say "Rue-fur" like we do in Canada.

Don't try and deny it, I have a bunch of friends in MI and Ohio who are in construction and they all say "rue-fur." As Whacker said, it's cultural differences you Dingdong and hoho. (Sorry, I had to say that because those are things that we don't have here) [img]smile.gif[/img]

Much like you lack Ketchup chips, Dill pickle chips (I mean true dill, not that california dill crap) smarties in box that are chocolate, kinder eggs, and so on . . .

see now to say the "american" way of sayin anything is the right way is 110% wrong, the number of accents down in the states is only surpassed by the number of drugs george dubya neices are takin on a long weekend,

at the same time all u people out east talk almost as weird as americans.... the farther east ya go the worse it gets, and u ontarians does "hamburgs" mean anything to ya???? lol....anything east of that is just a mess....cus u got the seudo french, then the maritimes..... and yea i lived in NS for 10 years so i know all bout the 1000lb "ARRRRRRRR"

and then theres the newfies..... "hey der by whadda ya at? bonnie and i is goin down the warf ta jig some caad and catch us a few lobstars, den we gon head up to pattys and drink some keit's and screech, get right ripped der by i tells ya what..."


but even thats better then the southern US, its "right there" damnit not "right thurr" stupid chingy.......

wuffer or wuh-fur not woo-fur or wue-fur
I pronounce roof the opposite
rufe not ruhff

That is probably the ugliest bunch of words I have ever seen.

American or Canadian it doesn't matter, we're all here for Car Audio not a "Grammar Rodeo"
