Maybe people would assume otherwise if you used, oh I don’t know, a Japanese flag for your avatar? ;)

What do you say then? “Oh, I see you prefer the dialect spelling.”

Just add “eh”, “buddy”, and “ya know”, people will get it.

Or just give up, Canadia is the 51st state anyway :)

You just have to show them by spelling correctly.

(ie, using the letter U).

Lol.

I try, and they think I’m wrong.

Hmmmm, so they are the American ones, the plot thickens.

I know a few things,

one is never to call a Kiwi an Aussie, 

never call a Canadian an American,

never call a Dutch man German.

Oh and don’t tell a Frenchman that the people in Quebec are French. Lol.

CB > Svend 09/13/2017 at 13:34

They’re Quebecois!

And never call a Scotsman or an Irishman English.

Svend > CB 09/13/2017 at 13:52

Or call a Welsh man English either.
