I get asked a lot if I'm Canadian. My Michigan accent has changed just enough, and dh says I sound less nasal that I used to. Rounder O's.
I've been told by a few here that they've learned to ask first if someone is Canadian instead of asking if they are American. Apparently some Canadians hate being asked that.

I don't mind being asked where I'm from, especially if I'm overseas. I find people don't ask if I'm Canadian or American, in those exact words anyway, they usually politely ask where I am from, at which point I can tell them I'm from Toronto, Canada. Shop keepers can tell by our money of course, with each bill being a different colour.
