@Lilymoon Since you're Canadian, your answer reminds me of a Red Green episode. During the Word Game, one of the clues Red uses is "Americans laugh at Canadians when we say this." He was referring to pronunciation, of course. I don't remember what the real answer was, but the contestant guessed, " Can you please check your handguns at the border?"

@DrWatson hahaha maybe it was aboot... (but we never say aboot) 🤣
@DrWatson Always got a kick out of that segment. I also got myself an early birthday present past week, a Bersa Thunder .22LR semiautomatic pistol, essentially a Walther PPK clone that costs less than half, and vastly improved, I turned 55 two days ago...
