Subject: RE: BS: 'vocal fry'- my suspicions confirmed
I too have never heard a Canadian say oot. Found the following on the www.


'Canadian pronunciation of "out and about"
Americans typically make fun of Canadians, claiming that "out and about" is pronounced as "oot and aboot" (personally I can't hear it). So if that is the case, what do Americans hear when Canadians actually say "oot and aboot"? What does Canadian "boot" sound like to an American?'


My own question: does boot and out sound the same to you when we say it?
