Le 9 ah-oooo
My roommate is away for 3 weeks in Borden, Ontario doing some military training (she's a medic in the reserves) and so I've been paying her bills, checking her phone messages and checking her email. The other day I checked her messages and there was one in french about an interview on August 17th. But the woman said aout in such an awful way that it was like nails on a chalkboard. She said "ah-ooo" instead of "oo" (as in moo). I admit I'm not a francophone but there are certain things I know about the french language (at least Quebec french) having lived in Quebec all my life and having taken french from age 5 to age 20, and ah-ooo just sounded so so wrong to me. So does anyone know is this some Franco-Ontarian thing or something else entirely?

I pronounce it "Ah-oot".. I don't know if that's what you mean. I got my french from Lafontain Franglais though, so I am sure my french is no doubt insulting
She pronounced it in a similar way but the t was silent.
The worse thing about how the woman was saying August was that she was fluent in French. It could be her first language.
Maybe she was a french were-wolf, calling lisa in for an "Interview" WHA HAHAHA!! AH-OOOOOOOOoooOOOO
