One thing I still can't figure out, do Canadian people really say eh a lot? or is it just a hyped up stereotype, eh? its a cool word though, eh
Its a stereotype. The word does get used, but not nearly as much as legend has it. The fact that you've been to a couple of places in Canada but you still have to ask this question pretty much says it all.
And I've never heard anyone say "aboot", except for some particularly rude tourists from the southern US who were teasing a scruffy-looking fella in the Byward Market in Ottawa. He decked two of them, and the third one ran away. :D Call it a collision of stereotypes.
