    I’ve been living in Canada for 25 years, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who says aboot, or anyone with that hoser accent

      We pronounce “about” and “out” with a U.

      Americans pronounce it “abowt” and “owt” with a W.

      Americans can’t seem to make the U sound and whenever they do try it sounds like and A or O. But it’s neither, it’s a U.

      Idk, if you live with Americans like I did for a while they have a very different opinion of our accents, which I don’t even think we particularly have.
