Canadians say "eh" - but at the end of a question. eg; it's a nice day, eh? Contrary to Hollywood's perception, it's NOT said at the end of EVERY sentence! (EH!)

I recently went shopping in the US (Buffalo), and a store clerk asked my niece to spell her surname ; in Canada, we pronounce the last letter of the alphabet as "ZED" (like the Brits). She has a "z" in her surname, and when she spelled it out and said "zed" the clerk looked at her like she had two heads. It was funny to us, because Buffalo is a border city, lousy with Canadian shoppers, and the clerk had never heard it.
