After one month in Alberta, my Southern Ontario accent has been pointed out to me a couple times. Biggest differences I've noticed so far:

1. "sorry", I say SAW-ree, people here say SOAR-ee
2. "literally", I say pronounce the T as a D, whereas I've heard a few people here pronounce the T as it's spelled.
3. "probably", I say PROB-blee, whereas people here pronounce the A as well.
4. "about", I say A-bowt, here people tend to say A-bawt, although I've heard some variation of this as well.

Generally I find people here tend to dictate their words more properly than back home. I've also noticed that people tend to put emphasis on the end of their sentences rather than the beginning of the sentences as I do. Generally my way of talking is a bit flatter than born-and-bred Edmontonians.

GlassCity, I remember you saying a few months ago that you speak similarly to me, but I think I talk a bit flatter than you.
