Micahel- You said: "I find that American students are more likely to complain about accents than international students." So, why would they complain about international students? (grammar, please) I think you are being a bit judgmental and expressing a tiny bit of lack of cogitation there, pardner. Canadians do not say "Eh" (unless they are hard of hearing). Start with http://www.billcasselman.com/ Y'all come back now. Stephen or others may have better suggestions. :) Tim _______________________________ Timothy O.

However I do find that some international students have issues with the Southern accent. I do find some Canadian linguistic mannerisms such as Eh,pardon and inflections which create some distractions.
