NOW THIS..is very, very true. I know a few guys that live in Newfoundland and that's exactly how they pronounce it..hahaha...crazy.

Yeah people base it off of the south park movie, seriously. :cool: In the movie, they have the canadiens say aboot all of the time.

Can anyone understand what the Newfies are saying??? :p

Hey hey hey, easy with the newfie jokes...i picked up a hottie newfie over the summer and she didn't sound like that....don't perpetuate stereotypes guys, you might sound hypocritical

some may sound different but the newfies still rule!

The Newfoundlanders that I met had quite a strong brogue accent. However, if you listen extra carefully, you can usually make out what they're saying. You might not catch every word but from the context, you can usually get it.
And nicer people in Canada, would be hard to find! (Actually Saskatchewan people were totally nice and helpful to me on my business trip there)

ugghhh those girls didn't look that good-looking, especially not for pagent winners. Is that site some kind of a joke?

i would have to strongly agree with Lil_G on that one!

Bwhahahahaah, I know this is mean but I have to agree with you on this one.

I was born in Northern Iowa. Trust me, they have accents.

where about in Iowa are you from man? I spend quite a bit of time down there...well all over the midwest actually. i have family that lives everywhere around here...

I attended college 2 hours from home - both in Georgia. After I had been away for just a few weeks, I was talking to my dad on the phone and he wanted to know if "I had been hanging around a bunch of Yankees"! Guess he never realized that I didn't have a "strong" Southern accent like he thought I had living at home!

Years later when I was working in California, a co-worker started kidding me by saying "y'all"...then he couldn't stop, lol!!:) :)

WOW!!!!!
 

Does not anyone ever travel anymore?

Living in Mo/Ks, I would go to SD and they loved to hear me talk as a Southerner, To Texas they loved to hear my Northern accent!

I lived with a lady from Tenn. and would go there to visit her family and there was a Diff. in accents.

I am fortunate that I can be some where and talk like a native in two days! Minn, SD, Wis, Mich all have different inflections in a boot eh!:D

Is it pOtato or PaTOTO?

All of you or Yall?

KSig R C wish I could draw a Grape Vineyard!!!!!!!:D :D

I was born near Fayette, but now live in Virginia.

I have lots of friends from Newfoundland too :). But hey, like you easterners never make fun of us Westcoasters... ;)
