I'd totally be okay with the engines disappearing when I go to repair them if a clip of Sunderland saying "sorry" played whenever it happened.

N-Sunderland:
I've been told that the Canadian "sorry" sounds different. I'm completely confused.

naufrago:
Americans pronounce "sorry" like "sah-ree." Canadians pronounce "sorry" with the "so" part sounding kind of like "sew," so it's basically "soh-ree." It's a very canadian way of saying it, and makes me chuckle a bit every time I hear it. That and pronouncing "about" kinda like "uh-boat." (well, sort of halfway between "uh-boat" and "uh-boot")

N-Sunderland:
I've always pronounced it more like "sore-ee". I suppose that's essentially what you mean *hides in embarrassment*

I have never met anybody in Canada who says "aboot", even though I know the stereotype well. Then again, I do live in one of the less-accented areas.
