origins of ‘eh’
"Eh" has become such a natural part of our speech that many Canadians don't even realize they're using it in day-to-day conversation.
So where did this little word come from and how did it become such a part of Canadian identity?"
"Stereotype or not, it's a word Canadians are famous for — two simple letters baked into the tail end of so many of our sentences.
But few realize "eh" actually predates the country's creation by a century or more."
