1. Hey, so here's a question
only slightly tangentally associated with your topic. Sorry, but I must know. When one dials overseas, there's a + in front of the phone number sometimes. Is that something you actually dial?

It just means you dial the country code, city code, then the number.

9. Do you find our accents sexy?
In particular southern female (Susan Sarandon-esque)? I've been honing mine to use when I get a bit older.

10. You guys have cute little accents, too
My Estates & Trusts professor is from Nova Scotia, and he says "shedule," "oot" and "aboot!"

18. I had a project with a Canadian company ....
every week on the conference call we'd keep a tally of how many times they said "about" and "project." Yes, my coworkers and I are childish. :P We later found out they were doing the same thing when we said "ya'll." :rofl:
