i'd propably understand what you mean 90% of the cases even if you replaced "You All" with "BLARGHER".Normally, you should be able to understand just from the context. Those who doesn't are just stupid or Grammar Nazis.
Ah that pic was fuckin' great! I can die happy now.

I voted no because I'm an idiot that can't read soI couldn't understand the question.

I heard "Eh" about 4 times when I was last up there. I spent a month traveling around.
It's not as common as most Americans think. :P

It depends where you go. It's not as common in the GTA but you're gonna hear it a lot if you go to Northern Ontario. Sudbury is in love with that word for some reason.
Also, that word is popular in New Brunswick (at least that's what I got when I visited there a few years ago).
Don't know about the rest of Canada... yet.

I know some Canadians and they don't even use it at all.

Eh, noone uses proper english. Probably not even the Queen, and it's the Queen's Enlgish. I've lived half my life in Virginia and half in Michigan, an in both places people sound funny to me, although Michigan accents are much more annoying.
I'd rather deal with "ya'll"s and "you'n"s than have someone talk through their nose at me.
You bring up two important things: One, the "Queen's English," the fact that English came from England, and two, that people in different areas sound different.
Personally, it seems like 90% of all people from England butcher the English language. I don't mean to disrespect people, I'm not saying English people sound stupid or anything, but most English people I've heard talk run words together, don't enunciate, skip syllables, etc. For the country that invented English, they sure know how to tear it apart.
But that's okay. To the English, we Americans are fucking up the language royally. And that's cool. We all just talk funny. No problem with that. One party just can't say to the other, "You're ruining the language, stop it!"
True, we all fuck it up. Cockney is just as screwy as a southern accent, especailly along the gulf coast, with that damned French influence.
It's a Canadian thing, eh?

Yeah, what's that all aboot?
A lot of the Canadians I met living in Michigan were just dicks, but so were a lot of the Michigan...ders. or whatever.
But the Canadians seemed to think they were the greatest thing around just because they weren't American, and some of them were...very anoying. One of these bitches just kept going on and on and on about how wonderful this website she had was, and she was getting all these cool indy bands on there, and she didn't seem to realise they all sucked big floppy donkey dick. And I got insulted, just for telling her that. In...so many words.
Anyway, it's really those French Canadians you have to look out for.
