Nope, we all say 'aboot'. Lots of people from various places, although mostly American, have laughed at the way I say 'about', and I was born and raised in Calgary. My dad, born and raised in Toronto and having had lived in Calgary for nearly 30 years, now works in Alaska and they bug him about, er, about as well.
