Consider the sentence: "The sun shone brightly yesterday."
If you were raised in either United States or Canada, then post a word which rhymes with "shone", and I will state the country in which you were raised.
Which country?

Re: Which country?
That would be too easy, Paidion! You have to also tell us how you get the right answer.

Re: Which country?
I came across this quite by accident!
I found that eveyone I asked who was raised in Canada (including myself) pronounce "shone" in a way which rhymes with "gone", while everyone I asked who was raised in United States pronounce the word in a way which rhymes with "bone".
So Jeremiah and Rich, I would say you were raised in United States. Perry, I don't know about you. Did you learn about rhyming when you went to school?

I was thinking "drone". Don't think Canada uses drones.
Re: Which country?
Oh, there are millions of drones in Canada! (That is, male honey bees).

Hey, "gnome" rhymes with "shone", way better than "good" rhymes with "food".Paidion wrote: Perry, I don't know about you. Did you learn about rhyming when you went to school?
