Can the Canadians on this forum please do me a favour?
 

Pet peeve of mine: could you guys please update your location to something a little more specific than "Canada?" How about the town, province? I love to know just where people are from, and it makes me sad when people just put "Canada."

It just makes it too easy for the Yanks (love you) to think we all come from the exact same place (any of you who have travelled to the US will understand this feeling).

Thanks.

whats favour?

You know: to do something for someone else with out expecting something in return. I believe you Yanks spell it "f-a-v-o-r", while the rest of the English speaking countries spell it using the Queen's English, which is how we spell it.

:bellyroll: my location says georgetown, DC pretty specific

Sorry, I don't understand what this post means.

Means he's not a Yank. :laughabove:

Well, I meant the term "Yank" referring to Americans as a whole. If you're eluding to some geographical variation, I don't know about those.

Ah well Virginia and below are generally southern states. I'm sure there are some southern folks that would take great offense to being called a Yank lol. :bellyroll:

Oops, my bad then. Just replace the word "Yank" with "American in my posts, then. I'll keep that in mind for the future.

I'm just giving you crap man. No worries.

You'll get in a lot of trouble with that word around here. :bellyroll:

Yeah, a lot of people in the southern states still hold a lot of pride from the civil war we had. People from the northern states are sometimes referred to as yanks but not so much.

1. A term used by the British to describe all Americans.
2. A term used by American Southerners to a. describe Union Forces during the American Civil War; b. Post Civil War reference to Americans from non-Southern States.

I guess it's like using English to describe everyone in the UK...:iono:

Changed Location :thumbsup:

Nashville is a good place for a yankee to live in the south imo. A lot of people who live here aren't actually originally from the south. But you can tell pretty quickly when a native to the region comes walking around.:bellyroll:

^^ Atlanta is the same way...Im originally from Wisconsin, to be honest I dont care for the south much and I cant wait to finish school so I can leave heh

No, you're all getting it wrong. They say things like "Y'all" in the south. They take out the o and u.
If you're gonna write "south" properly, you have to write it "S'th"...

hes out to get ya

I don't remember what I posted as my Location, so this is a post to confirm its correct :P

I had no idea it was Queens English, but I do get ridiculed non-stop for spelling armour, favour, flavour and what not. In fact, even spell check says "bitch, you're doing it wrong!" :S

floridians are neutral..

I am from Markham,Ontario. Main Intersections are 16th Ave and McCowan. Is that detailed enough White Comet?

haha nice...scarborough over here!

Nice to see some GTA representation, personally every time I go to the GTA I get this unusual feeling of anger that I cant describe and I always end up yelling at other cars on the 400/401. Can't figure out why... maybe its just because the biggest city within an hour of me is Barrie. I'm from the countryside near Midland. Hold the hillbilly jokes, I don't have any broken cars on my lawn, until my cav dies lol!

p.s. I'll keep to calling our southern neighbours (haha, thats right, not neighbors) american's, not yanks, since I don't enjoy being called a canuk.
