Drat. I bought Shadow Hunters yesterday, but our weekly game day is going to be reduced from 7 players to 5 tonight. I could play it with 5 players, but I get the feeling it would be more fun with more players.

Well, at least 5 of us puts us in the realm of Sentinels of the Multiverse.

So in today's local Metro newspaper, they ran a little fluff piece about Canadian English.  I don't know the accuracy, but apparently "washroom" and "pencil crayons" are almost exclusively Canadian terms.  I had no idea.

I've heard "washroom" used in America before.

Pencil crayons is a term I'm not familiar with.

The article says that the rest of the world calls them "coloured pencils".

It's just more polite to call them pencil crayons.

I always make sure to keep my colored pencils separated from my regular ones.

Yeah I was going for Canadian politeness, but I guess the joke works on two levels, so feel free to upvote it twice.

I was in Canada once. When we got back to the USA we immediately went to a bar and ordered burgers and pitchers of beer and were so happy we weren't in Canada anymore.

Sorry to disturb you. Can you please not say things that will make people not want to come to Canada? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, eh.

I've never been to Canada. I've been to USA once. It was fun. I do want to visit Canada sometime. It sounds kind of like a larger Sweden. And people talk funny. :D

I call them pencil crayons.  That could easily come from my mom being raised in Canada though.

"Pencil crayons" always confused me.  "Crayons" always meant wax crayons, and my school happened to have wax crayons in the shape of pencils (which are awesome, by the way, and such fun to sharpen).

As with most things weird about Canada, it's probably our fault : crayon just means pencil in French. What you call crayons we call pastels.
