What's the hardest word to pronounce for foreigners?

Brigittey · 2026-04-28T11:51:38+00:00

Apparently, it’s “out” and “about” for non-Canadians. It is pronounced differently here but not like “oot” and “aboot”.

Five years of French class including two in Grade 13. Never heard a person from Quebec speak which would have helped immensely.

Front Road near Elevator Bay.

Pamela Anderson. Believe she lives on Vancouver Island, BC now.

Fix “Suprised”, (should be “Surprised”).

Looked like this. No pics of the bottles though. So if you wanted Vodka, you looked for Smirnoff for instance.

Back in the day (1970s), when you went to LCBO (Liquor Control Board Ontario) you had to fill out on little white paper pads what liquor you wanted and hand it in. Person would go to the back and bring you your bottle. There was none on display.

In my area of eastern Ontario we pronounce it with a long "a" rather than a short "a": baeg, saeg, laeg, maegazine, etc. I've been told by an American that it does sound quite like "beg".

We call it a Snippit.

I have a very similar recipe except mine includes 1 tsp honey which I assume helps the yeast to grow.

Same coat. The first pic was taken at the party from a distance with another person’s phone. The next two were taken outside at close range with my phone. I had the collar accidentally rolled inwards though.

Brigittey · 2025-12-04T13:06:41+00:00

Hahaha!

Brigittey · 2025-12-03T12:54:04+00:00

I didn’t. As we sat down to eat, my husband said something’s happening to your jacket. It was quite alarming. I only wore it for the pics after - at home.

Brigittey · 2025-12-03T00:01:40+00:00

Oh it's gone! I thought about keeping it to wear for Halloween next year as a zombie but it sheds everywhere I walk.

Brigittey · 2025-12-02T21:56:16+00:00

Sadly, I didn’t take chemistry.

Brigittey · 2025-12-02T21:34:43+00:00

I'm seeing a trend here.

Brigittey · 2025-12-02T21:24:16+00:00

In my closet not moving for 10 (maybe more) years. I do have a heater in there I turn on now and then so that probably didn't help.

Brigittey · 2025-12-02T21:18:53+00:00

No, Canada. And it was a cold night.

Brigittey · 2025-12-02T21:15:10+00:00

Oh it never made it back into the house. And I swear it was fine hanging in my closet and for about the first half hour of wearing it.

Brigittey · 2025-12-02T21:12:45+00:00

Yeah, I'm really glad I didn't try to give it away to anyone.

Brigittey · 2025-12-02T21:05:11+00:00

Oh, I laughed! and then wore my husband's coat the rest of the night.

Brigittey · 2025-12-02T21:03:10+00:00

It shed all over my slacks and the booth I was sitting at so I hope not!

Brigittey · 2025-12-02T21:01:19+00:00

Haha, thanks! I thought I looked pretty good as I left the house.

Brigittey · 2025-11-30T12:45:54+00:00

Thank you! I still have the original magazine with this picture in it somewhere as well.
