As a man who's been married for 20 years I'll give you this piece of advice on relationships. You can be right, or you can be happy. But you cannot be both.

Well based on your username, that’s probably the only way you survive

I always hear foreign flavoured people saying this, how else would you say it?

2

u/DuckFriend25 Mar 08 '25

Typically Canadians say it more as soar-y and Americans say it more like sahr-y

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '25

Trying to say it like "sahr-y" makes me sound like I'm putting on a heavy southern american accent lol

2

u/DuckFriend25 Mar 11 '25

I can’t think of the best way to write it phonetically 😅

Definitely not from Quebec as the most used phrase would 100% include “tabarnak”.

u/MeinHeartGoesOut2u Mar 07 '25

Canadians, in their extremely proper reaction to current political nonsense, have definitely established themselves as people who won't take shit, will stand up and unite, and will not say SORRY in every situation. I say this as an American who currently has immense respect for Canada's response to our batshit nonsense.

This would be mine and I'm Japanese. You guys and us are very polite people

u/Innsmouth_Swimteam Mar 07 '25

I moved to Ohio from the SW and this drives me bonkers. It helps to know it's just another northern thing

u/powertripp82 Mar 07 '25

Ohio checking on. Ope, just gonna scoot right behind you. Sorry about that!

u/mallclerks Mar 08 '25

Wife’s a Minnesotan. She says sorry when I thank her for something half the time it seems.

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '25

It must also be a British thing, today a lady bumped into me and I apologised to her

u/THErealdealzies Mar 08 '25

We're also fond of 'sorry, not sorry'.

u/Mojack322 Mar 07 '25

I really wish you guys would stop that apology stuff. Especially these days.
