I'm just a mixed up Canadian and can't even remember how _I'M_ supposed to spell things any more. *g*

I can no longer remember whether we use "gray" or "grey", "realize" or "realise", but I DO remember I need my "u"s. LOL.

I have always called my mother, "Mum" and my kids call me "Mummy", but that is very uncommon here now. Just don't give me "boot" and "lift" and "Uni". LOL!

Lol, I am another wonderfully mixed up Canadian who never knows what to spell where - and bonus, my parents speak english as their second language because they are immigrants from Holland. They spoke 'textbook'. *g*

I know I need my 'u's, and frankly grey/gray is pretty darn interchangeable for me, as are practise/practice or realise/realize. My son calls me Mum, and half the time we drive by the Uni - but I do give you that we don't tend to use the lift, and the only 'boots' we are concerned with are the ones we were on our feet. :D

I have never used the word "Uni" in my whole life. Nor "lift" for an elevator and like you, boots are only worn on feet. =>}

My parents were both from Ontario with ancestors going back several generations. Growing up English in Toronto, we even say "to-MAW-to" and "dyew". *g*

But with the bombardment of South of the Border "English" all my life, I have to admit I sometimes also say "to-may-to" and am unfortunately used to seeing no "u"s in my words. *sigh*
