When I was in school (50s and 60s in NJ), we had book bags, but they were not the same as backpacks.

I don't know ANY Americans that say "Rucksack". When I was a kid (70s/80s) knapsack wasn't uncommon, but it's fallen out of common usage. Americans definitely say Backpack. Edited to add: I was familiar with the word rucksack before this video. It's just not in common American usage.

I guess that's more fair to say, however, Canada has a slightly different way of thinking as a country than the US. For example, Canada expresses freedom for the country, but the US expresses freedom for the individual. These are clearly not the same thing! Also, Canada is more socialist than the US in that the Canadian government has more health coverage for its citizens than in the US. Also, college/university students pay much less tuition than students in US do. So there are some small but important differences between Canada and the US, but they might not be so obvious to people who do not live in either Canada or the US. I'm just giving you some facts to inform you about this. Canada and the US are definitely different countries!!

I'm Canadian, born & raised in Alberta. Here's how I say these things! ▪Usually 'washroom' is used in public, 'bathroom' is used at home. ▪'Crosswalk' is correct. ▪We do say the animal 'zee-bra', but the letter is 'zed', not 'zee'! (Though some do say 'zee' if they're more influenced by the US.) ▪'Runners' (or running shoes) is correct. ▪'Parkade' is correct, but 'parking garage' is also used. ▪'Housecoat' is only really used by older people, 'robe' is most common. ▪'Knapsack' is not common where I'm from, but I have heard it. 'Backpack' is more typical. ▪'Toque' is correct, rhymes with Luke. It comes from French. Many things are regional in Canada and the US - we are both such big countries after all, there are bound to be differences depending what part of the country you're in! I find many things about Canada tend to be a mix of US & UK.

I'm from Michigan, now living in Arizona and we call things: "bathroom" if you're in someone's house and need to pee and "restroom" if you're out in public (probably since restrooms don't have bathtubs) -- in fact, the directional signs always say "restroom" and for some reason, we will say "men's room" but not "women's room" -- and in most public schools, it's called a "lavatory"; "crosswalk" is correct, or simply "the crossing"; "sneakers" "tennis shoes" or "gym shoes" are all routinely used in the USA, but it's slowly becoming more common to refer to the best marketed brands by the brand name itself, as in "Where did I leave my Nikes?" or "Did you move my Reeboks?" ; "parking deck" or "parking structure" is more accurate for a multi-story building; "bathrobe" or "robe" is very common, but my mom always called her's a "housecoat" so that could be a generational thing; "backpack" is INFINITELY more common in the USA, very few people outside of the military would even know what a "rucksack" is; finally, NO ONE I know would EVER say "beanie" (they would be ridiculed for doing so) it's just a "hat" UNLESS you're in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where it is oddly called a "CHOOK" -- As always, LOVE your videos!!

In Canada, tuque /tuːk/ is the common name for a knitted winter hat, or watch cap (sometimes called a beanie in other parts of the world); the spelling "touque", although not recognized by the Canadian Oxford Dictionary, is also sometimes seen in written English.[7] The Canadian-English term was assimilated from Canadian-French tuque. Toque first appeared in writing around 1870.[8][9][10] The fashion is said to have originated with the coureurs de bois, French and Métis fur traders, who kept their woollen nightcaps on for warmth during cold winter days. Such hats are known in other English-speaking countries by a variety of names, including beanie, watch cap or stocking cap; the terms tuque and toque are unique to Canada and northern areas of the United States close to the Canada-United States border. In 2013, CBC Edmonton launched a poll to ask viewers how they spelled the word. The options given were toque, tuque or touque. Nearly 6,500 people voted, with Edmontonians remaining divided on the issue. I find ''Beanie'' funny because it makes me think about ''a little bean''. I would vote to write it Tuque or Touque since ''toque'' in french is a cooking Chef's hat....

Rucksack is a large hiking backpack, the kind that you strap sleeping bags and canteens too. Backpack is used for regular school type bags.

The only people that say rucksack in the US are in the military. Everyone else says backpack:)

Highway is what we call freeways and interstates in Chicago.

Speaking as one born during WWII, where I grew up the shoes you mentioned were called tennis shoes. I remember hearing "sneaker," probably on TV as a teen, and thinking it must be an east coast thing. The term "washroom" seemed to be in general use in the Chicago area, twenty to thirty years ago, at least. Many of my students who grew up there used the term, and I'm proud to say that I consistently resisted the urge to make light of the usage. It wasn't easy!

Yes we used book bag for a part of my youth but now backpacks are more common. As far as the information, they said they got it from an article, and isn't it okay if occasionally they slip one in there to spark conversation? That is part of the fun, and does strive comment interaction! They know how we love to "educate" them! ;) If I was running a channel I would be tempted occasionally to throw a ringer in there that would generate a bunch of conversation, because it really does no harm and people get to interact, everybody wins.

As an American, I’ve grown up hearing mostly sneakers/tennis shoes

That was super cool. I picked up now, the difference between these accents.

I'm from Canada and some of those phrases surprised me. Maybe it's because I'm from the east coast, but most of the words I grew up saying are the same as the UK, with the exception of toilet and car park. Very interesting video! Love your channel! :)

Yeah, rucksacks and knapsacks are like types of backpacks with the sort of flaps they have signifying them.

Definitely a backpack and tennis shoes. Also I had never heard of the cap called a beanie until about 20 years ago. I always called it a stocking cap.

I’m American and I’ve never heard someone calling a backpack a rucksack, it’s either a backpack or a book bag

Americans are more likely to say knapsack than rucksack. Usually backpack

I am unsure of the rest of the country but as far as i have heard american's call them backpacks 🤷‍♀️😂

I doubt you guys will read this but the meaning behind parkade: where park is obvious but arcade can means a series of arches supported by piles or columns. So that’s where that word come from. Also we don’t say knapsack, we say backpack. Lol it’s pronounced two-c

The reaction to housecoat was so funny 😂😂

In the south we say Tennis shoes, or teni-shoes for short. Never sneakers.

I think Americans say "tennis shoes" just as much as, if not more than, the word sneakers. I use tennis shoes if I'm talking about like running shoes. I would use sneakers if I'm talking about like Converse or Vans. Sneakers to me are like tennis shoes that you don't exercise in.

Knapsack and housecoat can be used in the US. A housecoat is usually a non-bath style that is worn with pajamas for warmth while reading or watching TV. / sitting around the house. A knapsack is usually used for a smallish backpack.
