@MeanwhileinCanada And to make things more confusing for me, I lived in Australia long enough that even though I have my Canadian accent back, I speak with an Australian speech pattern and even Canadians don't understand me half the time.
Except for the Quebecers.
And my neighbours from Malaysia asked me this year when I emigrated from Australia (!) and I was floored because nobody has asked that since my Aussie accent vanished in 1999.
@MeanwhileinCanada For those who are confused, Aussies and Quebecers speak quickly and can make an entire sentence essentially one word. And apparently I do this without realizing it. And use Aussie conversational slang (Howzit going?)
