Wikipedia is a terrible, terrible site. I went there to look up one quick thing, and have now spent the past hour surfing around various articles. Today's topics of interest: differences in Canadian and American English. (Fun fact: Although "eh" is often considered stereotypically Canadian, it's actually fairly widespread throughout the English-speaking world. According to the article, there's only one use that's limited to Canada, and honestly, it's not a use I often hear in day-to-day life. Oh, and we DO NOT say "aboot" for about.)

I should have anticipated the danger; I used to do the same thing with paper encycloepdias when I was kid.
