No, I am saying that every person from Canada I have met has said aboot. That's not a stereotype, that's a fact. If I said you're a typical Canadian because you say aboot, then that is a stereotype. I said in the email I sent that not all people from Canada say that. How can I stereotype a group when I state the contrary?
