Well I sure knew not to say "what's the difference" to Canadians when talking about their accents, that for sure. It's like calling an Irish person British. :P
And yeah, I also knew that about the "Canadian Invasion" and generic American accents. (Fun fact: It took me until uni to actually realise that American's had more than one accent, and they, like us, mocked people from their own country for how they talked. This seems really really stupid, especially as I have known about Deep South accents all my life, but somehow it never actually sank in.)
And that sahry and abahwt thing doesn't actually help with Canadian accents. Because we pronounce the o's as well, so now you sound British in my head. :P
