I have a feeling some people's answers do not reflect how they actually talk, only how they think they talk. I can't imagine so many people speaking differently from me, and I speak pretty much stereotypical Canadian.
I don't remember all my answers, but this is the big one.

The big question is this one: Do you say ABOUT and MOUTH with the same vowel sound as LOUD and DOWN? Yes. I know some people say about like "aboat" or even "aboot" but I don't, never have. Neither do many people I know. Maybe its because both my parents learned english as a second language and didn't pick up that way of saying certain words.

I also don't say PASTA like its pronounced "paessta" I pronounce it like its properly pronounced, "pahsta" because its an Italian word and the letter A is pronounced with an "ah" sound, like in french.
