A Matter of Honour
Canadian English reflects the words, spellings, meanings and traditions that have grown with us. Exploring them is more than finding the right answer. It is one small way of honouring our language, heritage and the experiences that have shaped how Canadians communicate.
Choose the best answer for each discovery. If you need a little help, an optional hint is available. There is no penalty for an incorrect answer. Every answer is another opportunity to discover something about Canadian English.
LOOK WHAT YOU'VE GROWN
You have completed this visit. Whether every answer was familiar or some gave you something new to think about, every discovery helped your meadow grow.
Canadian English is much larger than any one collection of questions. There will always be more words, meanings, spellings, expressions and regional usages waiting to be explored.
THERE IS ALWAYS MORE TO DISCOVER
If we have not yet reached a word, expression or usage you would like to see explored, tell us about it. Your suggestion will be researched and reviewed for inclusion in a future question.
COME BACK NEXT WEEK
New questions are planned each week, so come back and see what has been added. There may be new discoveries waiting for you and another opportunity to help your meadow grow.
And when one part of your meadow is complete? Something new may be ready to begin.
Your Word Tree is ready for discovery.
