I have a sure fire method for detecting Canadians out in the wild. Pay close attention to how they pronounce the word “resources”. If you hear the letter Z in there then they are probably Canadian.

- MegaDeKay 1y agoYour method wouldn't detect me. But you'd get me when I pronounced "Z" as "Zed".
- mynameisvlad 1y agoSadly my last name starts with a Z so after a decade of living in the US, I lost the "zed".

- __turbobrew__ 1y agoDo you call program “prah-gram”? Do you call pro shops at the golf course “prah shops”? I will die on the proe-ject hill.
- Rendello 1y agoA good test would be "ice eyes garage sorry resources". For me it would be something like /ʌɪs aɪz ɡəˈɹæʒ ˈsɔːɹi ˌɹiˈzɔɹsɪz/. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Canadian_English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Canadian_English

- madcaptenor 1y agoMost people who refer to "North Americans" collectively are Canadian. People in the US can forget Canada exists. People in Canada can't forget the US exist and so they need a term that includes both.

- mjklin 1y agoThe only real giveaway to me that Trailer Park Boys is Canadian is how they pronounce the word “sorry”. Like SOW-ry rather than SOH-ry.
