Haha.... I have a cousin from Hong Kong who has a British english accent
And she says, "shedule" and stuff like that
Still have the accent but had the dialect stuff.. tomarto etc, beaten out of me.
I still remember my second day in the country at a deli, trying to order a Tue-na steak sandwich. Keep in mind he only had Beef, Chicken, Vege or Tuna on the menu.... I couldn't believe that he couldnt make the quatum leap from tue-na to too-na.
But the weather, people, snowboarding and surfing are better here so I deal with it :rollface:

Well, if you came here from the East Coast, you might say "Pop" instead of "Soda" and if you came from the South, you'd say "Coke".
My Brother's fiancee is from Tennesee and conversations would be like;
Her: What you you want to drink?
Me: How about a coke?
Her: OK, what kind of coke?
Me: Uh, 7 Up?
Her: OK....
They is ca-razzy is da south!

I'm from Toronto, we always said "pop", a friend of mine here from Chicago also said pop. My cousin from NYC used to say "Sowda pawp".
In fact in Toronto, we used to have a "Poppe Shoppe" back in the day where you would buy (glass) bottles of different types of pop, then you'd return the empties to the same place. They went out of business 20 something years ago probably.
Remember glass soda/pop bottles? And stubby beer bottles? Man, I'm really showing my age!
Also, in Toronto, you buy bags of milk, not jugs of milk. Typically, you'd buy a bag with 3 smaller 1 litre bags of milk in it. You put the bag in a special pitcher/bag-holder and snip off a corner to pour the milk. Oh, and you never want to leave a bag of milk in your Dad's dark blue van in the middle of summer. No, not a good thing...make sure you bring in ALL the groceries...and if you DO forget...make sure you're not the next person to go into the van ....
