Canada was originally called Cnd.

When an American asked how that was spelled, the fellow replied C eh N eh D eh. And thus Canada was born.

Same reason so many Americans say;
Uh, uhm, ah, ya heard me, you know what I’m saying, and maaaaaan 4-5 a sentence or something that vaguely has sentence structure.

We have been married almost 50 years and I don't think I have ever heard my wife say "eh".

It takes less effort than the painful “I mean…” used by so many American retards.

I propose we switch to eh.

Edited: it’s actually more similar to saying “right?” or “you know?”, but I didn’t want to miss a chance to make fun of the OT retards.

My proposal still stands.

Based on the movie Fargo, they even talk like this as far south as North Dakota.
