When I lived in Canada, my then husband (French Canadian) used to make fun of the stuff I said.

I would say "I reckon" because Aussies say that.  He said only rednecks said that  Lookingup

Other things I would get slammed for saying:

boot instead of trunk
bonnet instead of hood
footpath instead of sidewalk
rubbish instead of trash
soft drink instead of soda

As you can tell, he was an @rsehat  TeddyR

Most people in Massachusetts say "creek" and "roof."  Also, "route" is generally pronounced "roooooot" in this area, although some people say "rowt."

Hmmm, a French Canadian making fun of the way somebody else talks. I'd have a two-word response for that - Jean Chretien.

In defense of French Canadians, they have the coolest swearing. Aside from the common four-letter words, almost any Catholic terminology can be used in Quebec swearing, by religious and non-religious alike. Use one word, or string a bunch together. They don't even have to make sense.

In RI people drop their "R's" where they belong and put them where the don't belong.

Soder (soda)

I'm orginally from Western, MA.  People in this area say I pronounce certain words different like "coffee".  Perhaps its because I say it right.   TeddyR  They say "coooaaaawfee" I say "ca-fe".

Same here in the greater Boston area.  Also, "beah" instead of "beer" and "p**sa" instead of "p**ser."  A common phrase is "wicked p**sa" meaning "very good."

Yup.  Boston Herald sports writer Steve Buckley even wrote a book called "Wicked Good Year" about the 2007 season when the Red Sox and Celtics won championships and the Patriots were in the Super Bowl (but lost).

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
