Other differences (probably not the same for all of the US):

Canada US
Roof Ruff
Creek Crick


we don't have kinder eggs, thanks for reminding me.. I wonder if I order 'em now they'll be here by easter.. eh.. worth a shot..

eastern shore virginia says.. roof.. =.. not ruff.. =.. damn, I can never figure out how to type how that sounds.. and.. sayin' roof = hoof works for me but rarely does for anyone else.. roof.. the oo sound in a normal word everyone says it like that.. oo.. la la la.. think think.. foot.
roof = the oo in foot.. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say foot in a way that wouldn't make that particular oo sound.. but it goes farther than that, room also = the oo in foot..

not very many people in us say creek = crick.. I don't think I've ever heard anyone not on tv or in a movie say "crick"...

yes.
