What was more amusing about this, at least for me as someone who has studied rudimentary linguistics, is that he actually said "about" in the way that is often heard as "aboot." So...he did say "aboot," sort of :) Also, who ever says chesterfield? Bah... Adam Bishop 04:48, 24 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Prairie grandmothers and monarchists say "chesterfield". Bearcat 04:54, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
That's not really accurate. Young people say chesterfield too, it's just much more formal. In general usage, my stoned friend crashes on my couch, my mother buys a new sofa for her living room, and I offer the Prime Minister a seat on my chesterfield. 128.100.89.51 13:55, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I can't believe what I had read about him just recently. He MOVED TO LOS ANGELES IN 2001!! How's that for Canadian pride? SD6-Agent 08:57, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

"During the course of the piece, Shatner states that his beer of preference is Molson's competitor Labatt." It probably should be noted that Labatt is (was then at least) a major sponsor of the Just For Laughs festival, which probably had some impact on it being his beer of choice. I'm not sure how to word it, so I'll let someone else do it.

In defense of my accent, we don't say a"boot", it is a softer sound than that, somewhere between the american "about" and the characterized a"boot".
