The “eh” said at the end of questions in Canada most likely come from the Native American language of Lakhota where to show a sentence is a question they add “he?” at the end, because it was mostly a spoken language and not a written one.

so judging by the numbers in this graph… you’re saying that Canadians say “eh” 100 times per minute and Americans say “eh” an astounding 900 times per minute? That’s insane. Might want to cut down on your numbers next time lol

You DO notice that most of us are sarcastic about all those stereotypes, right?

Wait, they say ‘eh?’ in Ontario? I’m from B.C., so I wouldn’t know.

Haha yeah PWNED is right! What a loser! If all you have time to do is look at a website full of graphs then excuse me but i think you’re the real loser. It’s always better to assume the best of people and not to mock them for their personality. Oh, and by the way, yours sucks.

Well, mike, hate to disagree with you but the Simpsons happens to be the longest running (in terms of amount of seasons) cartoon ever. So, needless to say, the rest of the U.S. disagrees with you too.

I can see why you call youself rofl. I am doing just that at the moment! Neither of you (rofl or jj) used quotation marks and puncutation correctly. First of all, no quotation marks should have been used at all! The words should have been put in italics instead. However, getting back to the rules for punctuation and quotation marks, the rules differ depending on whether you’re writing for an American audience or for a British/international audience. What is correct for one group is different for the other. For the American group, here is the scoop:
Periods and commas: inside the quotation marks
Colons and semicolons: outside the quotation marks
Question marks and exclamation points: (a) inside if the question or exclamation is part of the quotation, and (b) outside if the question or exclamation is not part of the quotation.

jj used the punctuation differently, once inside, once outside. In either system, consistency should be followed. rofl also used inconsistency putting the commas outside and the period inside. They either both go inside, or both outside depending on where you are from.

If rofl is British, the commas were used correctly. If American, they actually go inside. But, the second use should be consistent with the first in either case.

And, on the eh thing… Canadians DO use eh a lot. At least the ones from Ontario. Americans say “huh,” at the end of sentences, in place of where the Canadians would say, “eh.”

I’m American, so note that the period AND comma both went INSIDE the quoation marks.

I’m Canadian but living in the States…I have to admit, a lot of my family members say “eh”. They’re all from Ontario, some in Toronto and some closer to St. Catharines. They don’t say it nearly as frequently as Americans tend to think they might, but still, it’s said.
Btw I know plenty of Canadians who are Nascar fans as well, and Americans who despise it. Besides, in Nascar and hockey there are about the same number of mullets by percentage.

I’ve read enough Harry Potter to know that, occasionally, English folks say ‘eh,’ too. And I say ‘eh’ but not as in the ‘eh’ pronounced as ‘ay,’ I mean the one pronounced the way it’s spelled, ‘eh.’
…
I must stop overcomplicating things…it makes my head hurt.

If Yoopers were to be added to that graph they undoubtedly say more ehs than the other two groups represented on the graph.

I’m Canadian and I’ve never said EH? nor have anyone at my university or the people in Toronto say EH? If we were going to look at americans we make fun of the south and their hill-billy nascar budweiser ways, so it’s just a common feud, what you think about that eh?

Because there are so many less Canadians than Americans. So all Canadians say it, and Americans just imitate the small total number.
