excuse you since when does America determine the way people speak 🙄

It certainly doesn't determine the way I speak english, being english and all.

Anyway quite alot of English accents pronounce it boot instead of bout...

Exactly 😛 English people know best (some of them anyways 😉 ) and since Canada is tied to England we know better 😛

I thought aboot was french at first.

Its like anything else that is taken from another culture, it evolves and changes according to the needs at the time.

Canadians probably ran out of foot wear sometime and just adapted their bouts into boots... .... 😕 ... or... may...be not.... 😛

😠 I have like 30 pairs of shoes 😛

And just how many feet do you have? 😱

Answer! We want to know the truth!

2 😑 and 10 toes 😊 *proud*
but alot of shoes 😮

fair enough I suppose... so its like a different shoe for every occasion then

most definately ✅

I cant think of 30 occasions that none my 4 pairs wouldnt be suitable for.

😆 well us girls have alot of clothes 🪩

True! The most items of clothes I've got would be t-shirts and I think I maybe got 20 otherwise its 2 of everything - the clean one & the dirty one 😄

😂 I have..hmm dont even know how many shirts 😮

I could itemizemy whole wardrobe here off the top of my head. I wont cos that would be sad but I could 😮

😂 awwwwww 🙁

hmm..this has turned into a discussion about clothes and shoes? 😬

I've got enough clothes that I can be scruffy or smart at pretty much any given time and thats good enough for me 😄

Kinda glad I'm not a girly having to need so many shoes and outfits and accessories and stuff and makeup and handbags, it would be far too complicated for my wee brain to cope with!
