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!
good point
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 🙂
now do that on the post with 35,000 comments…
OK, will do… In a minute… I’m answering comments (like this one hee hee) but I will definitely get to it!
Good
You know the British spell it like we do too eh?! And there’s another Canadian thing..”EH”
I do know all that… but Canadians are more fun to tease…
That’s because we’re cool.
downright frigid… HA!
Yep true up here right now for sure. I’m also sick now too.
awwwwwwww… sorry
Thanks both Hubby and I woke up at the same time last night with the same symptoms. It’s weird. We have never been sick at the same time in 11 years of marriage.
almost scary
yeah it is and bad.
uh oh
Yeah. Flu and chest cough
ouch
Yeah I think a hot toddie is in order later..lol
unless you get diarrhea… then it would be a hot pottie…
Ha well..
uh oh
Yep!
dang
You said it!
I did
That’s a great idea, Art, eh?
I also wonder how Canadians spell words like “house,” “out,” and “about.” Because they sure pronounce those words strangely, eh? Like, “hoase,” “oat,” and “aboat.”
my idea will not help to clear up these mysteries unfortunately.
We do not, you do!
doh
Don’t you mean duh?
no… because that sounds like I am making fun of your ability to think…
TrUe
truue
Oh right. I can instantly tell a Canadian when they talk about their house or they say they are going out and about.
You think we say “aboot” don’t you?
Don’t you? Or, if not “aboot,” then “aboat.”
ha
Nope we say about. 😉
no… you type about… you something altogether different
Nu uh
that should be ‘say something different… why are words vanishing now?
Say what?
never mind… to hard to explain
okay
yup
no… you aren’t Scottish… it is more like: abouut
pft
ha
Not to mention when they are all polite and stuff.
Yeah, what is with those nice and polite Canadians, anyway. Why it’s downright un-American, eh?
That is why I laugh when Trent says he is sending the Canadian flaming beaver commandos to attack the U. S. By the time they finished asking permission to attack some gang member in South East Los Angeles, they would have busted a cap in his burning, furry head.
or is that euh?
Damn that random “u.”
I graduate with a BS from Random U…
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!
I thought that might flush you out of your beaver dam, you Canadian recluse! There are new people on the comment post that have not been greeted by anybody but me, which makes it look so fake and tawdry. Or is that tauwdry?
I am a recluse! I’m also in your neck of the woods, Vegas to be specific. This place is a little bit excessive.
We do excessive
I am so drunk. An dI dont know where i am exactly. But for all my extravagances, for all my instability, i know tha ti i hate this place. i hate it.
It is pure evil… But it can be fun…
You tell him Trent!
oh, he did
I know he rocks
he has rocks
Tmi!
ha
Yeah… these ‘mericans, always making fun of the way we speak and write… they got it coming! Flaming beavers and spear-toting moose on their way!
Yeah it’s not like their country doesn’t have moose. I’ve been all through the US so I know. They also have cowboys, southern fried chicken and fake people
We have the realest fake people around!
Ha!
yuup
They have to fight there way past South East LA to get to me… good luck… and that is just the ones that make it past the Bay Area and decide not to just stop and live there. Also, they will all melt before they get here.
Never!
“……………….?
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!
I do what I caun
You certainly do. By the way, in a totally unrelated matter, the Queen called to tell me that you had “Butcheured muy Engluish aund ouf wuith huis heaud.” It took me twenty minutes to understand what she meant. Then after careful negotiations as a distinguished ambassador of my country, I managed to get her to see reason and have haggled her down to loss of limb, an eyeball and then bladder control. Give me another day and I’m sure I can convince her that you are harmless and she may settle for a little off your soup strainer as a token gesture. You’re welcome.
you can’t use muy as my because where I live that is Spanish for a lot…
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
I do
Yes but you are special and for all intents and purposes cannot be killed by conventional weapons.
phew
Sounds like you sweat a lot too
thinking makes my brain hot…
You need to get a fan installed into the back of your noggin
Uh… I have a couple thousand fans installed in my cranium… they are called ‘followers’… although I like ‘minions’ better.
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.
I think you mean meurde
You’re right. Shite.
shiute
That must be how they spell it in the borderlands
I stay away from those…
Eh? … or should that be Euh?
Yes… I believe it shouuld…
