To me (Seattleite), it seems "aboot" might be a more Western Canada thing? I've met people from toronto that didn't say it. I have however traveled extensively in BC, and BC folks definitely say "aboot" or some variation. Another poster also touched on the whole "everyone from other parts of a country have differing accents of their native tongue" thing. NS people sound funny..hehe(my opinion. I'm sure I sound funny to you)
"But, that is a long way off."
-"Only if everyone thinks that way."
Exactly. The University of Washington accepts approximately 48 undergrads to their Bio-Engineering program. Not sure on Graduate figures but.....I know they get a ton of money.
A good friend of mine is on track to be one of them. I hope while I count fish(aquatic/fishery sciences) I can also learn layperson what he's doing.
In the Seattle area it's just about 2.50 for 89octane(mid grade). I've seen as high as 2.70 for supreme(92/93 octane). not sure on the exact tax breakdown, but some goes to roads and I think someone is trying or did get some sort of increase for a "whats that word? monorail!!. If I remember correctly it would have been around 9 cents more per gallon. I can speak for myself and say I'd gladly pay more for gas if Seattle could get it's act together and build a subway/monorail of some sort, but thats another article)
