Canadians say "Fish and fries" instead of Fish and chips.
Since when have we become so americanized?
Ive never been to a fries wagon but ive been to plenty of chip wagons. I enjoy fish and chips and I order chips regularly with a Hamburger. i remember going to chuck e cheese as a kid and ordering burger and chips and actually ended up with potato chips.
I find more and more when i say the word "chips" even within context of fast food i get confused looks. That and the fact that i see more and more Canadians spelling words the american way.
PS: the word is schedule, NOT skedule. Pronounce it properly you damn american wannabes!
LOL

if they had pronounced it the right way then americans would have had to run to the american/english dictionary for a translation.
Try this for some fun. Go into any american restaurant and ask for a serviette and see the reaction you get. You can almost smell the rubber burning when they say "HUH??"

In Ireland, if you ask for "fries" you'll definately get a "WTF" look. I'm pretty sure it's the same in England.
It's great how the Mcs' lingo is still somewhat apparent over the pond. :D |

the best was when i asked some guy which way the subway was in victoria station in London. His answer? "Down"
LOL... gotta love the brits. They really hate americans (and sadly they think we are americans). I though it was pretty funny though. So out of left field. |

hah yeah. I was at Versailles just outside Paris and asked an attendant who was smoking a cigarette outside the Chateau where the "washroom" is. He gave me a "wtf" look then I thought this is Paris, and asked where the toilet is, he just did a "pfffft" straight at me and said "It iz closed". lol |
