I’ve been living in Canada for 25 years, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who says aboot, or anyone with that hoser accent
Yeah I don’t think it’s especially common. Maybe out west or in the prairies? I don’t know many people from there. In the marritimes it’s all “aboat” as far as I can tell, and Ontario I think says it like American “Abowt”.
Part 3 of the north american accent tour, by Erik Singer, on the Wired YouTube channel, does a great job breaking down different Canadian (and north american) accents.
We pronounce “about” and “out” with a U.
Americans pronounce it “abowt” and “owt” with a W.
Americans can’t seem to make the U sound and whenever they do try it sounds like and A or O. But it’s neither, it’s a U.
Idk, if you live with Americans like I did for a while they have a very different opinion of our accents, which I don’t even think we particularly have.
It happens in the rural west/prairies sometimes.
The internet is making us a bit more boring.
Go to the Maritimes and you’ll find some
