How many of you add "eh" at the end of a sentence?

I use it sometimes at the beginning of a sentence. but not in the canadian way. It's more like "eh....I have no idea"

I do sometimes. Its really funny because it throws people off, nobody says 'eh' around here

Only when I want to add a questioning inflection to a sentence. It's more of a "... and what do you think?" ending to a sentence.

eg. "I can't believe that just happened, eh?"

The only times I would say eh at the end of a sentence is when I think maybe the other person didn't quite hear me.. and I'm Canadian :p

i say "eh" both at the beginning and at the end of sentences, but not both in one sentence.

i picked up saying "eh" at the end from being in Quebec for a week, and i've lived in NYC all my life.

Get off the car, eh?
and
'EY! GET OFF THE CAR!

I substitute "no?" for "eh"

I have a Canadian cousin who says nothing but eh at the ends of her sentences...it's great :)

I think it's a shortened version of "hey?" --> 'ey?
"That was some good game, 'ey?"
"Do ya want to go to the movies, ey?"
