You don't say "sore-y" either, right?
Ha! This is totally a thing. ND's parents both immigrated from Canada, and he has a lot of Canadianisms, including that one. Every time he says sorry it makes me giggle a little inside.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I had no idea the way I say borrow is considered Canadian until Nutty complained about Nathan Fillion doing it in Firefly. Then I could hear the difference, and couldn't say the word without feeling awkward for about six months.
I mean, like sorry, there's a fuckin' O in it, Americans.
AN O, I SAY.

Also, I didn't realize until I was writing Buffy fic how many turns of phrase I use on a regular basis, picked up from my parents and extended family, are not common down here. My betas would chide me for it on a semi-regular basis.
No flat A in pasta or Mazda though. Those ones make me cringe.

well I can use the voice feature on my phone, but it's a pain in the ass and its really slow and auto correct hates me and it takes me for f****** ever. Also I am able to use my husband superpower NASA NSA super secure Batman computer for doing some stuff that I need to do, like I can work on my website later. However, he doesn't have word, so I can't do any editing work until I have Word back. Luckily I finished my section I was copyediting yesterday, so I am good until I get my next section of the manuscript.
