Canadians and their odd money

Post by Jahntassa »

Saw this in the local Staples store. Yes...local. I'm about 20 miles east of Atlanta, Georgia.Why in the heck would someone need this here...? Sorry..just quite amused by it..

well, there is generic, properly spoken english, which hardly anyone speaks, myself included (i think i lean towards a slight hoosier accent). i wasn't trying to be offensive or poke fun, just a question. nothing to get upset aboot, budday!

Mavrik was just trying to be funny, I think.

Here in Pittsburgh, we even have our own sort of language. Let me tell ya, if you get called a "jag off" around here, it's not a good thing! We're well known for our own unique perversions of the language, there have even been a few books written about it.
