7 noticed in a Montreal paper the other
day a curious note about the ordinary
pronunciation OF English by the Canadi-
ans, which is said to be purely Ameri-
can" Says the Montreal writer: IT
heard some people talking about the odd
way our younger people are learning to
speak English here in Canada. The peo-
pie of Cape Town. who went into trans
port on the arrival OF the Canadian SOL
diers. and loved them at first sight found
II very romantic that some of them
spoke French, but hardly less was the
English that the rest of them spoke. They
said they spoke with an American ac-
cent. Crudely speaking, this was a suf-
hcient description. Many OF our people
speak more American than the educated
American. and yet we have slovenliness
all our own. The question is how to mend
this"
should say that the Montreal write,
had been guilty of slandering his own
people In intimating that they spoke Eng
iish with sovenliness any greater than
that which English and Americans EN-
ploy. The Canadians. as a rule. speak
English as the Americans do, many Of
them speak 1t as the Scotch do and few
In some of the various ways that the Eng
lish speak English in But the most SLOW
emily users OF English are the English
themselves. No Scotchman. no Irishman,
no Welshman. no American. no Canadian
can rival a thorough going EngIishman
in slovenliness OF speech.
The majority OF the English speaking
Canadians who come to us In Boston use
the language very weli--some of them
beautifully. The Canadian. well educated
at Toronto or Magill. yields to no speaker
of English in the purity and excelience of
his ordinary diction. But ! can imagine
how the boys who went out to South
Africa osith the contingent" and who
were recruited largely from the farmers
and small tradesmen OF Ontario, Manitoba
