OK, time for some of us Cannucks to pipe in, eh!
Growing up I lived near Deetroyit, a large Mare Can siddy lying across the Deetroyit River from Windsor, Untario. Other Mare Can places known to Canajans are Buff Low, Tcha Coggo, and Ore Gone.

How about people who talk about the purchase of very expensive audiophile speakers on certain home audio message boards and end their critique with the phrase "I never looked back." That is starting to make me cringe just a little.

Hi,
Loved the cartoon. Another thing: it's "receiver," not "reciever"! Don't grade schools teach that little rhyme anymore? "i" before "e" except after "c"?
There is an exception, of course, this being English: their.
