Canadian English is a regional variety of North American English that spans almost the entire continent Canadian English became a separate variety of North American English after the American Revolution, when thousands of Loyalists, people who had supported the British, left the United States and fled north to Canada Many Loyalists settled in southern Ontario in the 1780s, and their speech became the basis for what is called General Canadian, a definition based on the norms of urban middle-class speech
Modern Canadian English is usually defined by the ways in which it resembles and differs from American or British English Canadian English has a great deal in common with the English spoken in the United States, yet many Americans identify a Canadian accent as British Many American visitors to Canada think the Canadian vocabulary sounds British – for example, they notice the British “tap” and “braces” instead of the American “faucet” and “suspenders” On the other hand, many British people identify a Canadian accent as American, and British visitors think the Canadians have become Americanized, saying “gas” and “truck” for “petrol” and “lorry”
People who live outside North America often find it difficult to hear the differences between Canadian and American English There are many similarities between the two varieties, yet they are far from identical Canadian English is instantly recognizable to other Canadians, and one Canadian in a crowded room will easily spot the other Canadian among the North Americans
There is no distinctive Canadian grammar The differences are mainly in pronunciation, vocabulary, and idioms Canadian pronunciation reflects the experience of a people struggling for national identity against two strong influences About 75 per cent of Canadians use the English “zed” rather than the American “zee” for the name of the last letter of the alphabet On the other hand, 75 per cent of Canadians use the American pronunciation of “schedule”, “tomato”, and “missile” The most obvious and distinctive feature of Canadian speech is probably its vowel sound, the diphthong “/ou/” In Canada, “out” is pronounced like “oat” in nearby U.S accents There are other identifying features of Canadian vowels: for example, “cot” is pronounced the same as “caught” and “collar” the same as “caller”
An important characteristic of the vocabulary of Canadian English is the use of many words and phrases originating in Canada itself, such as “kerosene” and “chesterfield” (“sofa”) Several words are borrowed from North American Indian languages, for example, “kayak”, “caribou”, “parka”, and “skookum” (“strong”) The name of the country itself has an Indian origin; the Iroquois word “kanata” originally meant “village” A number of terms for ice hockey – “face-off”, “blue-line”, and “puck” – have become part of World Standard English
Some features of Canadian English seem to be unique and are often deliberately identified with Canadian speakers in such contexts as dramatic and literary characterizations Among the original Canadian idioms, perhaps the most famous is the almost universal use of “eh?” as a tag question, as in “That’s a good movie, eh?” “Eh” is also used as a filler during a narrative, as in “I’m walking home from work, eh, and I’m thinking about dinner I finally get home, eh, and the refrigerator is empty.”
The traditional view holds that there are no dialects in Canadian English and that Canadians cannot tell where other Canadians are from just by listening to them The linguists of today disagree with this view While there is a greater degree of homogeneity in Canadian English compared with American English, several dialect areas exist across Canada Linguists have identified distinct dialects for the Maritime Provinces, Newfoundland, the Ottawa Valley, southern Ontario, the Prairie Provinces, the Arctic North, and the West

Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S are choosing to teach their children at home In fact, the U.S Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children were being homeschooled Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate, and the ranks of homeschooled children seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven percent every year
At one time, there was a theory accounting for homeschooling: it was traditionally used for students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties Today, however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at home due to their dissatisfaction with the educational system Many parents are unhappy about class size, as well as problems inside the classroom Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students The children are, therefore, deprived of the attention they need Escalating classroom violence has also motivated some parents to remove their children from school
Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, homeschooling in the U.S has become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger There are now plenty of websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable them to learn more about educating their children Though once it was the only choice for troubled children, homeschooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that many believe is failing
