Yes but Canadians don't say "oot" and "aboot"

They say "oat" and "aboat"

For the -ou- diphthong, Americans and most Brits use short O + long U = ah + oo

Thus 'out' = ah oot = 'owt'

Canadians instead use long O + long U = oh + oo

So 'out' = oh oot = 'oat'

This pronunciation is somewhat common in the border states of Minnesota and N. Dakota also

Fuck aboat and find oat! :)
