I'm going to have to stop saying eh, eh? No, "eh" is all right.
But drop that danged "aboot".

Canucks - Ya gotta make allowances for them:
I attended a university graduation in Montreal last year. The highpoint was when they gave a 'lifetime' achievement award to some guy who figured that if you mixed very slow learners with normal or above normal performers - the overall class learned less and took a longer amount of time to do it than if the class into graded levels when the pace of learning of all improved.
The second high point was when a newly appointed professor from California said she wasn't sure she should take a job in Canada until one of her liberal friends told her to take it because the Canadians were 'smarter' than 'we' were - proving her friend right, at least when comparing California libs to Canadians.
Personally, I think the average National IQ went up in both countries when she left the US for Canada (but obviously not that much up north).
