And now… another random thing that I just made up… today is International ‘Type Like A Canadian’ Day!!!

People of the world, hear me! You too can join in the fun and experience the awesome thrill of typing like a Canadian… and it is pretty easy to do. You just add the letter ‘U’ into words where it doesn’t belong. Let me give you an example:

Color, a perfectly bland word for something so wonderful, can be magically changed to ‘colour’! Now look at it. It is so much more colourful.

Now we can all feel the thrill of being Canadian without actually having to travel there and meet Canadians… or be bitten by an angry beaver… or trampled by a love-sick moose.

Don’t worry if you don’t get the hang of it right away. You might put the ‘U’ in the wrong places now and then. But don’t paunic! Eveun if youu get carried awauy, most people will stiull be ablue tou figuure ouut what yuou meaun.

    You can also type like a Brit by doing the exact same thing!

    I’m getting dizzy, I should know better that to read all of the comments on your posts by now… Sheesh. But I did get a good idea for a post 🙂

    Okay, that’s it. I’m just about to light up the beavers and send them over the rise, it’s time we brought the Queen’s proper spelling down to you colonial miscreants. Bring me the grease! Prepare the moose! In the morn, we come knocking. Oh yes. We shall knock. We shall knock very firmly and insistently, and if necessary, we may even sneak in a tickle here and there. By the way, colour, honour, centre, axe, cheque, labour, humour, defence, fibre, flavour, rumour, mould!

  6. Lol the inclusion of the ‘u’ too often is killing me. Follouw mue oun Twitteur four example. Actually it’s starting to make it sound like a psychotropic mishmash of Scotutish and Fruench. You’ve invented a whoule new language heure pardner!

    Oh no! Please, no! When I worked at the World Health Organization, I completely lost my ability to spell. Because they meshed the American spellings with the British/Canadian spellings all the time. For example, part of what I did there at the WH OrganiZation was organiSe meetings. We used American spellings for color but the British spelling for flavoUr. And everybody had to criticiSe. And don’t get me started on French. Merde.

  8. Eh? … or should that be Euh?
