Funny story - my husband is from the Chico area, they grow a LOT of almonds there. However, they don't pronounce almonds as "allmonds", they say "ammonds". It took me a few minutes to figure out what they were talking about. I laughed and informed him that they were pronouncing it wrong. My husband looked at me (I'm from the Pacific Northwest) and asked me if we say "Sallmon" or "sammon" (for salmon)! Touche!

Well being a Canadian we do not have 12 months of snow, nor do we live in igloos, most of our roads are paved and yes we have both electricity, telephones and running water in our homes. All questions that have been asked by Americans while on holidays.

I grew up in Hawaii but would come to the mainland in the summers and go to girl scout camp. When my grandfather would pick me up from the airport he'd welcome me to the United States. He knew we were a state - just hadn't accepted it yet... At camp, I had kids ask me if we lived in huts... Did we have phones... bathrooms...etc. Ok, it was the 1960s but geeze...

When you say you're from NY, most folks assume NYC. Never even been there! So much life outside of the city. Someone should mention it to our legislators. Gorgeous rural areas, mountains, lakes, valleys.
