I've heard that too... must have been an easterner. No aouts or aboots out
here ;-) (Many things appear to be blocked by the Rockies - both ways!)

I have been watching this message board for some time. I have not made any
comments about the kayak construction because I have not built mine
yet...however someone must speak up for the Americans!

I heard that when naming Canada no one could decide on a name so they
started picking letters "aout" of a hat and it went something like this:
C eh! N eh! D eh!

Is this true?

        Uh, sorry, eh? (actually, I've always heard more "eh" east of the
        Rockies, and the prairies...)

antics...?

        You forgot to add "...eh?". ;-)
