Edjo, 25 days ago @arstechnica ‘Canadian speech patterns are well-known: pronouncing "out" as "oot," for example, or "about" as "aboot,"’ It’s more like American hearing impairment. The stereotypical Canadian pronunciation of “out” &””about” skews (slightly) to that of “boat” not “boot”!

chrisadamsecon, 26 days ago @arstechnica My guess is that something similar happens for American's playing #AFL. They pick up #aussierules specific terms and pronounce them the same way as their Australian teammates.
