- James Harbeck of Sesquiotica tells you how to say Berczy Park, Spadina Avenue, Tecumseth Street, Strachan Avenue, Roncesvalles Avenue, Etobicoke, and Mississauga. Plus Bloor, Sherbourne, and Eglinton.
This guy was so annoyed by all the mispronunciations that he went all over town to correct everyone. As a favor. This is the most Canadian thing I've ever seen.
Great job getting the indigenous history right!
I loved this! I'm not a Toronto native so I learned a lot.
“Youu have to come see” 😂
Many people from the states say CNN Tower, not CN Tower. Great videos. I Sub'd
That was hilarious! Thank you!
Thank you for this video ❤️
Good job James
I learned and I laughed!
Oh gosh. Thanks for the upload. I miss the years I spent in Toronto. (and all the place names I mispronounced) lol
I call it "Mississa-Gee!"
you got that right SPADEENA (pronuntiation)!!!! no spa-die-na my friends!
Never knew how to prounce Roncevalles even though I live next door.
Spadina Ave used to be pronounced Spa-DEE-na, but over time it some how became Spa-DI-na
"Bloor or Blore"
For whatever reason the Miway buses pronounce it as "Blu-are" so there's a third pronunciation lol.
We can always tell the non natives by their pronunciation of Toronto
Pronunciations no one asked for:
Stray-CHAN
Etto-bee-CO-kee
Dooon-DAAAHS
Rohns-VAL
And, my favorite, which comes from my Filipino-Spanish mestizo grandfather (who studied in the UK and whose first language was English, but liked to troll people because of his foreign accent):
"Missy-saw-OOOOH-GAH"
stra-khan* where'd you get stray from?
actually it is (strawn) pronuntiation for "strachan"
(etobicoke) K is silent so it ends like (etobeeco)
dundas street. is (duhn duhs) .
