Do you have a Canadian accent (if you do you're probably oblivious to it ;))

Well, I'm sure I have little Canadian-isms: roof rhymes with spoof, and stalk and stock are pronounced exactly the same... That sort of thing. :) But overall I don't think that I have a particularly strong Canadian accent. I've been told that I speak in a fairly "proper" manner, and not as broadly as an American. *shrugs*

Andorra. :)
Subject: Re: Ask Me About Geography
Written By: Ebontyne on 07/25/06 at 6:56 pm
:o Nice one!
Thanks! One other interesting/peculiar thing about Andorra is that it has two co-princes who act as official heads of state, and one of them is always the French president. I suppose that makes the President of France, in effect, a monarch (albeit on a rather small scale). It's a fairly unusual little constitutional arrangement they have there. :)
