MachoManSavage 10/31/17 4:21:25 PM #1:	And I don't mean the exaggerated accents like Southern US or East coast Canada. I mean the "typical" big city accents. Is there a difference? Because I hear a pretty big difference when Americans come to my bar. For example, the word "bar" is often times pronounced like "bah(r)". You guys?

Americans have many different accents, no one on the west coast would pronounce it that way That's a fair point. Being from Toronto, which is East coast, we probably don't get alot of West coasters and most of the accents I hear are the North East. So that may skew my opinion on it. ThyCorndog posted... the accent doesn't really change just cause you go over a border so besides some regional accents, there isn't a big difference. the standard american and canadian accents sound the same to me They are pretty damn similar. It's funny when people like to think the "aboot" accent is typical in Canada. I've very rarely heard it. And when we do, we make fun of it too.

Alucard188 10/31/17 5:00:15 PM #14:	There's no real Canadian accent. There are accents from the native population, from Quebecois, Maritimers, etc., but most other Canadians (not born from other ethnicities and regions of the world) don't have an identifiable accent. I mean, everyone has some semblance of an accent, but it's not like in the US. --- Face it Cloud is a gaming icon and has appered in lots of games while mario has only appeared in 2 games sunshine and 64~xSlashbomBx <cite>Alucard188 posted [p:889511824] in Can you te...
