Ah but, @Bastien Merindol, you've forgotten platinum, haven't you? Of course we Brits only spell it that way simply to give the 🖕to those Americans, don't we? We find it highly entertaining to see so many of them going into meltdown over the way that we spell certain words - especially when they have so-called Spelling Bees in the U.S.A. and we don't have them here in the U.K. Of course the only reason that they have such Spelling Bees is to pass on their misspelling of a lot of our English words to their own children.

Just letting you know Connor, Soccer is an English word invented by an English man so it's not American, and you can now inform them that. Aluminium as part of the periodic table has all the ending letters to some words as "nium" all agreed as standard. American media writes this still as "Aluminum" even though they've already agreed scientifically it's "Aluminium" and thats why people get annoyed it's because its willfully being wrong.

They sold french cars in the US long time back. Cars like Citroën DS, it had front lights which pointed the way the car was turning(not legal in the US as the lights had to point in the direction the car was pointing). It also had a system which made it so if you drove over a pothole you wouldn't even notice. And if the tire went flat, the car could lift the whole shebang up for easy access to change of tire. No need of carjack. Also in the TV show Caprica(a Spin off to the Battlestar Galactica 2003) they used this car to make the cars look futuristic.

Britain used to have a huge car industry. It still has a fairly big one.

Sure someone else has said but the word Pants come from Pantaloon which are are loose, pants-like undergarments that covered women's lower halves in the late 18th and early 19th century as such today in British English and some other types of English the word means Pants as in undergarments and not as in American English In defence of the yank English trunk, its called such due to how horse carriages they had a Trunk, a large transport case on the back, so that just moved with time

I love your reactions… it’s much funnier watching these with you reacting than watching them alone!

French cars are awful. There's a running joke in the UK, the tool make snap on - all French cars are called snap off - because they break, constantly!

Aloominum? Soccer? I'm so offended I may just have to write a letter! Love your vids McJ 😆

Technically "Aluminum" is the older word so there's a case to be made for it being correct. But we spawned the language and it's named after us so we're right, always. Forever.

As for 'pants' Connor? First they were 'underwear'. French helped shape English, and 'Pantalon' meant trousers. So under Pantalons, became underpants. Often this was shortened to pants.

Aluminium is not open to different spelling. You’ve just missed a letter out and run with it!

That's a point I'm often making.. What Americans call football isn't football its more like rugby.. It even has a rugby shaped ball
