Ask a Brit, they'll tell you you're full of shit. I lived in the UK for a year and was constantly asked if I was American due to my accent. When I said, with a pained expression, no I'm Canadian, the usual response was invariably, "thank god!" By the way, no one in Canada says "aboot." Furthermore, the sources I posted above are just a sampling of hundreds on the topic of Americans posing as Canadians while abroad. I'll trust the expert at the University of New York over you anyday for starters....and few people are going to say to your face that they think your country has run amok.

I don't have to ask a Brit, I went to college in London for two years and I never once had a problem but maybe you were in a different country that also happened to be called Great Britain. Either that or the people you associated with were leftist commie nutjobs like yourself so then your claim would actually make a lot of sense.

As Matt said, I am also not denying that some Americans probably do that, but it isn't on the huge scale that your practically giving yourself an orgasm over and of the ones that are doing it I assure you the good majority of them are more leftist commie nutjobs that hate this country anyway, so again, no big shocker.

And yes, people in Canada do say aboot. I travel to Toronto for work on a regular basis.
