Default Canadians, Kiwis, Aussies and their flags

Yoo doon't knoow woot yoor tooking aboot Mikey!

I don't get that distinction either;

I hear canadians say "abowt" (as in "bow" to the Queen - heheh theres the
Colonial in me coming out)
and Americans "abawt" (as in baa baa black sheep, os something
just a little less severe than that)

I assure you that almost no European will be able to distinguish between
the accents of Canadians & Americans. Lots of Canadians sound just
like Midwestern Americans except for the occasional difference in "out"
("oot") as in "about."


?? That vowel sound is nothing like that!
