Stephen- My apologies. I did check, btw. So I did try to be a good scholar, honestly, I did. But being an igornant southerner I must have missed it! :) (Or I just screwed up the search). Can you enlighten me though. I thought the "A" at the end of sentences was alliterated differently than "eh" which is more like "huh" to my ear. But you are correct that I'd certainly defer to a Canadian about things Canadian!!
Which is really to say, "Sorry, Michael". I was so offended by your characterization of Southerners, of which I am one, that I erred just as badly, apparently. Mea culpa Canada!

And one of them is to assert, with pride, that Canadians do indeed say "eh". Certainly I do, every day, and I'm not hard of hearing. And bill casselman agrees, if you'd check your own reference. He says, "Eh? is a true marker of Canadian speech". What we don't say is "aboot". Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
