AMERICAN vs BRITISH English **50 DIFFERENCES**

Ойын-сауық

American English vs British English: 50 differences! How many did you know? Can you think of any others? Our American friends have different names for things than us in England. If you are learning English as a 2nd language it can get confusing. If you want to learn the British accent it's useful to know some of these differences.

    American here. I've always pronounced Notre Dame the British way and didn't even realize it until recently. What she called scallions I call green onions and I always call EMTs paramedics. The picture she called a "roast dinner" looks like what I would call a buffet, I've never heard of roast dinner.

Zip tie 16. Duffel bag 17. Cling film 18. Two for one, no special word 19. Monday 20. Jag-yuh-ar 21. I say both 22. Rubbish truck 23. British pronunciation 24. Hose 25. Alimony 26. Boxing Day (that’s when you get all your Boxing Day sales and the mall is packed) 27. I would call the top american universities Ivy Leagues, I didn’t know there was a British equivalent and there’s definitely not an NZ equivalent because we don’t have enough universities for that. 28. With honours 29. Car boot sale 30. Don’t have that 31. Heater 32. Pan-teen 33. I thought corn and maize were two separate things that look similar. I eat corn, I go in a maize maze. 34. Don’t have a name 35. Spring onion 36. Hood 37. Manual 38. Totalled 39. Paramedic 40. Jury duty 41. Face cloth or flannel 42. The great British bake off 43. Wrench 44. Bin bag 45.

    I think that it has been in british English and USA English some words are from the colloquial/informal language are like abbreviated words, cute words for something that has to do with children and brand names. ' I wonder if there is also more formal words for them in the respective English. I also find it funny that many languages also have put words together to describe something new, and I wonder why it doesn't have a new name. e.g. broom and a stick are broomstick, in German it would be the words Reisig and Stock are a Besen not a Reisigstock. That with the clock, is gegen den Uhrzeigersinn in german, which I find quite long, and I've used to saying Widdershire for whatever reason and most people don't understand this here and I always correct it.
