Every website and service inevitably gets worse over time. I really want society to come together and refer to that process, or a generic verb meaning to do something ineptly, as getting musked.
Well this is only from 39 votes so all results should be taken with a grain of salt. More Canadians can tell the difference than I thought though. Of course most people say depends on the regional accent which makes sense someone from Washington and BC might talk the same but places that might be further away might sound different, there is also a few people who felt depends on the word. Like how to Americans, Canadians saying “about” sounds like “aboot” which I’ve never heard but oh well, that being said I do usually pronounce “route” as “root” etc. just never with that particular word. That is what most of the “Depends on some other factor” are. It is interesting that all the few “other anglophone votes” say no but the people who speak a non-English primary language are split more similarly to Americans and Canadians, I would think it would just be a matter of familiarity so if you were from England or Australia you would not be that worried about the intricacies between Canada and US accents them sounding broadly the same, which does seem right (baring in mind like 3 people of this description answered), but I would also assume the same would be true if you spoke say Spanish but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Of course due to lack of spots this doesn’t have depends on regional accent by country/language however you want to word it (some are broader than country, some are country etc) so for all I know a bunch of English people are going “no I can tell them apart if someone is from Newfoundland and the other is Texas just don’t expect me to tell someone from Michigan and Ontario apart”
Michigan and Ontario is simple. You just ask them what this is:
Unless Ontario is an exception I don’t think that works if they are both under 40 they will both say it’s a couch or sofa. I don’t think that’s regional my grandma uses chesterfield and has lived in Western Canada her whole life (moved a lot within but Western Canada).
When you think about the concept of the Four Seasons, which season do you typically think of as ‘first’?
Whatever it’s the season you’d typically list first, or the one you think of as the ‘start’ of the year, or the one you automatically imagine first when visualizing them as, like, a series of pictures or on a wheel.

how do conservatives think talking to children works? if a four year old came up to me and said “i’m a cat!!” i would say “really? what makes you a cat?” and they’d say some shit like “i have claws >:)” and i’d be like “oh wow, you do have claws. but wait, i thought cats had pointed ears!” and they’d say “they DO!!!” and then i’d pull up a picture of an elf and ask “is THIS a cat?” and they’d yell “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”
u wouldn’t say “fucking hell, Emily, get it together. this is the real world”
pardon me, i should clarify. you wouldn’t say that, assuming that you aren’t a total dipshit. i would not say that either. some people, however, hate children and firmly believe that everyone should be miserable unless they’re at church
several of you pointed out that, often, conservative christians want you to be especially miserable at church. so true. grave oversight on my part
the novelty of having pets really does never wear off i’ve had my cat for ten years and i still look at him strolling around like can you believe this. a cat. is everyone seeing this. he’s alive he has bones and all. unbelievable
