Canadian "a "


      
          It is interesting how the only way a culture is able to truly recognize its particular costumes is when another person not belonging to that same culture highlights them.  A perfect example of this happening is seen in Canada; more specifically when they talk the English language. The Canadians tend to use the word a in between sentences, which is best known as the Canadian a. Some Canadians say they do it to make sure the other person is paying attention. However, others argue that they due it automatically and in some cases they hardly notice it. This nevertheless is not only seen in Canadian English. On the contrary we also see it happening in the United States. However, American's instead of using the Canadian a in between sentences they use the word ja. These are all marks that allow us to see how the English language is spoken differently depending on the region it`s in.



          On the other hand, even though in distinct places the English language is spoken differently the reason that any kind of English is understandable by all is because throughout the years different kinds of dictionaries have been created in order to establish both a spelling convention and help improve the idiomatic pronunciation. Making the communication between regions more efficient.
