Older people sound different from younger people as well.

And so when we study this, we sort of, we will always compare younger people with older people to see if there's change happening at the time.

One of the main differences, so there are individual words like the ones you're saying like drama and pasta, pasta.

There's these, what's called the, it's like a,

it's actually specifically about the ah, that ah sound.

And so in Britain and the US, there's a difference.

And then in Canada, we're kind of in between and we don't really know which is the correct way to say it.

So some of us will use the ah and some will use ah, but it's kind of, it's called a foreign ah.

And it's like, we think that if it's a foreign word, then it has a different ah.

It's sort of, it's interesting.

Like, so taco versus taco sounds,

Yeah, yeah.

So that's one of them.

That ah sound, that one's definitely one.

There's something called Canadian raising, and that is really the biggest one that people notice the most.

And that's when Americans make fun of Canadians for saying oot and a boot.

I'm assuming you somehow got made fun of for saying out and about funny.

No, but what it is is Americans hear it like that.

So because our vowel that we have in those words is what's called higher, it's more like oot.

So it's not fully an oot, but they hear it that way because they don't have... So it's a perception thing.
