Some of our Minnesnowta-speak looks rather similar to that.  |

A few of those will serve you well in Minnesota. E-A-G-L-E beat me to the punch. |

Since stroh never did receive the answer to his question from someone who fluently speaks Canadian, would you mind answering it for him? |

I noticed this when I was in Minnesota back in '05. Since then, I've been to Texas a couple of times, and I really noticed a big difference in pronunciation. |
