"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.
Alright, they got the Canadian bit right, since I am. But we do not talk like the people in Fargo!
And Trekhawk had it right. You all have accents. We don't.
Hahahahaha

I saw Fargo - I don't think we sound ANYTHING like the people in that movie.
Roguedog - where in BC? Been to Kelowna?
About the word "about" - I was in a mall in Spokane. A lady came up to me and asked me if I wanted to participate in a survey. I said "About...?" She said "Never mind, you're from out of town."
I had no idea we said it wrong...

Hey Kelowna,
Been to Victoria, Vancouver.. and a few times just taken the trans-can over to alberta over to jasper (LOVE jasper), edmonton, banff, calgary... One of my favorite trips. just gorgeous country.. or as you all put it "gods country"
I always have an itch to do this trip around the fall.
I've also explored campbell river and then on over to nootka sound. another beautiful trip.
of course have gone up to whistler (drove up in a friggin storm.. yes from california)
wanted at one point to just drive across canada but the winter was coming in and thought i'd better not get stranded up there.
never been to kelowna though.. wouldn't mind exploring the okanagan valley for the wines that are popping up there.
oooh.. getting that itch again....
