    Default Am I Canadian?

    Well? Am I, punk?

    Just in case this needs a better topic:

    Have you ever instantly "known" where someone was from by the way they walk, talk, or generally act?

    Tell us about it.

    I'd much rather talk about the fact your a dirty stinking Canadian waste of space.

    But no, I can't really tell myself from the way they talk.

    Aren't you English or something?

    I can tell when people are from Newfoundland, but they can't tell that I'm from Newfoundland.

    Well yeah a lot of Newfoundland accents are pretty distinctive...and I say a lot because there are so many..it's weird since it's such a small place.

    I can pick out tourists, but the funny thing about foreigners, is that when we (Brits) are on holiday, they can't pick us out. A couple of times in France, some French people have come up to my dad, and tried to start a conversation (sell something, ask for directions etc) and one time in Cyprus, my mum was mistaken for a Cypriot.

    I cant tell a South African the moment he/she/it opens his/her/its mouth. I have also developed a skill that allows me to weed out Long Islanders.

    All I can do is guess and then I'm usually wrong.

    I can usually tell when someone is from the Southern USA or from Europe. Specific accents, no, but I can come vaguely close.
