Can I add 'touch base' to the communication references?

How about people who say 'flip me the note' another way to say 'forward the email'.

Pretty major road in Guelph called Edinburgh. None of my colleagues or relatives seem capable of getting it right either.
I don't use Canadian English, not as a statement, but because there's no reason to do so. Expressions others use here that make me think the speaker has some sort of cognitive disability are "reach out" (except when followed by "darlin' reach out for me"), wordsmith, author as a verb, "speak to" (yeah, you chat with that issue, I've turned me ears off), "have the conversation" (meaning "ask"). The use of "proactive" or "endorphinize" instantly lowers the speaker in my esteem but I don't think these are specifically Canadian. |

Cradles mispronounce all the local street and place names; MacDonnell, Listowel, Delhi, Yorkshire etc. They sound like Rene from Allo Allo.

Re: Can't abide Canadian word?
I'm not sure if it's a Canadian expression or not but I've had more than enough people tell me that "It's all good". I have some miles behind me and I can assure you that it most certainly is not "all good". :p
