We Canadians get the worst and best of both Yank and Brit versions of English. What you folks down south call "soda" we call "pop". We're less inclined to sit on a "chesterfield" these days, but that's just because we watch TV, where everyone sits on the sofa (Brit) or couch (yank). Some of us still have a car with a boot (I do), but hardly anyone's car has a bonnet or wings anymore; they've changed to a hood and fenders.

And if that weren't confusing enough, we have mid-Atlantic spelling: "Analyze the new flavours ..." and muddle ourselves up with French: "You hardly left me any place on that bench; shove over"!

No wonder so many people out west like to speak Ukrainian or Mandarin.
