Can you look at a person, be it man or woman, and tell which area they are from?
Growing up largely in Quebec, it was - for the reason you mention - very easy to tell if someone was French or English, especially the women. The shape of the mouth and jaw is different, and most Quebecers will pribably tell you that.
