Subject: RE: BS: Canada-US Present Relationship
Do people in Georgia say "eh?" too then? When I've travelled through the States I've found that's a dead giveaweh. I also discovered just how often I say it - kinda embarrassing eh? (Attracts teasing, anyweh).

Apparently they don't notice it much. Being from Newfoundland, JtS doesn't say "eh", but one of our friends here who is from Alberta, does say "eh". He doesn't seem to get hassled about it. There are so many different accents around here because a large proportion of the people who live here come from different places. I think people just don't pay much attention to accents. Plus, as I said, people here are extremely polite.
