How to pronounce "About"
- Country or region Canada
People usually think that Canadians pronounce it as A-Boot....but i have never heard anyone say Aboot. We just pronounce it as Americans do.
I think certain areas pronounce it as Aboot, but it's definitely not widespread.

Many Canadians pronounce "about" similar to "aboat" ("a" as in "apple" plus "boat" as in "sailboat"), but there are also other Canadians that pronounce it the same way Americans do.
