Scones are not biscuits at least in the Southern US. Scones are closer to sweet rolls. Biscuits in the Southern US are typically fluffy, flakey with multiple layers, and salty on the top and bottom because they were brushed with salted butter.

Aluminum is spelled differently in the UK. It is spelled aluminium. Sir Humphry is to blame because he kept changing the name. www.worldwidewords.org/articles/aluminium.htm

Interesting watching this as a Canadian. We tend to use the British words (except when we don't), but pronounced much like the way Americans say them (except when we don't!). Canadian English is an interesting blend of British, and American, with some of our own ideas. Lots of Scottish words in Canadian English though!

For myself, I love the sound of English with what we, as Americans, think of as a Scottish accent. I think if I listened to Scottish Gaelic I would not understand a single word. As a child I was around many relatives that spoke with a Scottish accent including my Dad who was from Scotland. He had many friends and coworkers who were around the house. I don't really remember them because after my Dad died (I was maybe 2 or 3 years old) they didn't all come around the house too much and the Scottish relatives were older and well,.... passed away. Anyway, I love the accent and I love to watch and hear your videos.

In Scotland "plot" is a garden, in America (at least here in the Boston area) Plot is the land in which you are buried/interred

Autumn is called "fall" because Syrius (the Dog Star) falls beneath the horizon. (Then in the spring, it springs back up.)

I'm from Germany and with most of these I couldn't even tell which one I'd spontaneously use because I got taught 'British English' in school but started watching American TV shows early on so I understand what all of those words mean (British/Scottish and American). I use the one that comes to mind first 😄

So here in the US jelly is a fruit spread made with fruit juices only. They are much more sugary and basically halfway to jello so that makes sense haha Jam is made with whole fruit pulp and sugar. Marmalade is made with fruits and their peel which is why you would typically see marmalade’s from citrus fruits. They are boiled until they are soft to blend.

Yea we do say jam but just for the mashed fruit kind. If it's stained and it's just jellified juice with no pulp its jelly... But jell-o is what we call all gelatin. Even thigh there's a brand name jell-o all gelatin is called jell-o regardless. Marmalade is citrus jelly. Usually orange. .... I like jam better than jelly. I like the pulp in it. My favorite is black currant but its hard to find. Everyone Usually eats grape jelly. That's the most popular. There's tons of grape jelly everywhere. I guess for peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches. Bc you'd usually use grape jelly for pb&j. Strawberry jelly or jam would be the next popular. Then blueberry n blackberry and raspberry... Its Hard to find black currant but that's the best!! What is the most popular in Scotland? I heard you don't have grape?? But what would you use then with pb&j??

I've only learned in the past couple of months that a tank top means something different in the US than it does in the UK. In the US it seems to be what we always called a sleeveless t-shirt, but in the UK it was a kind of sleeveless jumper/cardigan, generally worn by older or nerdy people.

Yes, Canadians do say washroom and bathroom, I like to say lavatory if I'm being fancy and loo if I'm being silly.

Even in the states, you have regional dialects where we use different words for the same things. In Appalachia, where you all say "yous", we say "you'ns" or "ya'll" where other locations up north say "yous" or "you guys". Really, the whole thing is just fascinating.

Here's another. Before I moved to the states, we called the preparation surface in the kitchen a bench (as in kitchen bench). In the U.S they call it a counter. When I was a wee lad, the counter was the employee in the grocery store who checked you out or selected your goods in a shop. By the way, in Scotland we call it a shop. Americans call it a store. A store is where you put things (like a storage)...and on and on...

Hi Erin. In Australia, we call the Garage the Service Station to get petrol/diesel. Pants is Trousers etc. Underwear is Undies, Bras, Panties. Budgie Smugglers are Speedo Swimmers for boys. Girls have purses, boys have wallets. Jelly is Jelly, Jam is Jam. We call Eggplant in New South Wales and Aubergine in Victoria & South Australia. Same as Rock melon & Cantaloupes. Pubs, Taps, Wardrobe/Cupboard, Takeaway, Toilet, Biscuits, Scones, Draw, Football (but we did used to call it Soccer), Pitch are same as you guys. I usually say "I'm going grocery shopping", but when I was growing up, and because dad was a Scot, we would say we were going to do our messages. However, some of our Scottish relatives out here will say they're going to the shops. Lawn is Lawn, but some people will call the lawn, grass. Veggie Gardens sometimes called Veggie Patch. We pronounce Aluminum the same as you. Postcode is the same. In summary, we are very similar to you, as we are from the Commonwealth, and we were brought up with the British Language and not the American English. Again Erin, your Posts are awesome. You are a very down to earth lassie.

In America, many people would say their car's in/at the shop (instead of at the mechanics). Also I always thought Aubergine was French because I learned that word when I took French lessons. We also use tap, as in tap water, we would never say faucet water, although we also use faucet.

Canadian/American here: we use both the words jelly and jam, but they are different things. Jelly is made from fruit juice, so it's smooth. Jam has fruit pulp (and seeds if it's strawberry or raspberry for instance) in it. There are other words (like "preserves") depending on how chunky the fruit is. But we might just call that jam too.

I'm from the middle of know in America. I agree with you on overalls being what a Mechanic would wear, or what you would wear in the winter. What you call dungarees, I refer to as bibs.

Hi Erin I'm a Londoner living in Glasgow for 18 years now.

Way too funny!!! Thanks!!! Happy Easter!!!! Stay safe out there!!

I'm Canadian and we always say, "bathroom," when we are in our own home or the home of close friends. When we are in a public place like a restaurant, theatre, shopping mall , large grocery store or recreational building, most Canadians would use "washroom," as in, "Where's your washroom, please?" When in the United States, we Canadians know to ask for the "restroom." In Canada, we say "tap" as in, "Please, turn off that tap before the sink overflows!" However, when talking about buying or replacing a kitchen tap, we would say, "I'm going to buy a new faucet today." When grocery shopping, most Canadians likely say they are using a "buggy," not a "cart"or "shopping cart," like they do in the United States. When driving in our cars, we turn on our "signals" to indicate our wish to make a turn. We use "erasers" for eliminating pencil marks. We use "elastic bands" in Canada but our American neighbours say "rubber bands." We use the word "bangs" whereas you likely say "fringe" in Scotland for hair cut to cover most of your forehead.

I love this. I'm in New York, USA and when I hear biscuit, I assume dinner biscuits. Like rolls served with a meal.

Cilantro and Coriander are the same thing they taste wonderful and they are a wonderful herb! Thank you for the great information now!

to help clarify something. :} In the US, Canada is a short drive across the boarder from the states located in the North. From Seattle, I can be in Vancouver BC, it 3 hours. We share some similarities. But, really BC or British Columbia being the west coast, is the only area that seems to blur the line and have similar verbiage to US. East coast of Canada, (Toronto) everyone speaks French and very true to England.

What about Grippet ( means pushed for time )we use it in fife ,breaks (means trousers) fife again east coast,( simit means vest)stot means bounce the ball ,old jimmy

So interesting😁 I 'm Japanese so we have been taught American English. Now that I'm good? at American English, but I very much love Scotland!!! I love to learn Scottish 😀😀😀 I am always enjoying your video😀😀😀 Stay safe^^!!

we use scones but they have to be a specific shape, biscuits to my region are just the hockey puck shaped pastries that are used for making breakfast sandwiches or used with dinnner to soak up gravy or sauce in some types of dishes.

In the US we don't really say "bar" as a sole establishment anymore. A standalone bar has taken on the negative connotation of severe drunkenness and fighting. If they do use the word bar, it will be a Sports Bar indicating that it is a place to watch sports that serves food, or perhaps Bar and Grill that also serves food. Many establishments prefer the word pub as it is more exotic, which we love, but they usually serve food as well. If there is dancing it's a Club, to which we say we're going clubbing. Micro-breweries are a thing with specialized brews. The bar is now more in reference to the long counter that is in a club or restaurant where alcohol is served. We would say this restaurant has a bar. We don't say we're going "down to the bar" anymore like you might say you're going "down to the pub." We will either name the establishment or say we're going out for drinks, or just simply say we're "going out" which implies a wee bit of drinking. Hence the phrases " Girls night out" or "guys night out". We do say "wee bit" a lot more than we used to. it's kind of redundant but it is used as an emphasis to say a very small amount. But we would never say "wee" by itself as an adjective. It is often a verb for a child needing to pee (or ourselves if we're just being silly) or as an expression of euphoric joy while going down a long slide or some other motion based amusement. Would you try to imitate the Scots a lot for fun, that is probably why you're channel does so well in the US. I blame Sean Connery and Shrek. People often ask why Americans are such britophiles. I remind them most of our history is the same as yours. My own family carries the names Wallace, Shaw, Singleton, Wright, Apple, and Brown.

The zip in zip code stands for zone improvement plan, btw,

Here in Brazil, we utilise the word 'bar' to refer to pubs. But we say 'pub' whilst talking about bars that are similar to pubs of London, for example. Pubs are considered to be better than the traditional Brazilian bars. A massive number of individuais here in my country are used to use the word 'pub' even though they are not fluent in English.

Speaking of motorways, what we Yanks call on-ramps or entrance ramps, the English call slip roads; what we call off-ramps or exits, the English call junctions. I can’t be certain that Scotland uses these same terms because, sadly, I haven’t been to Scotland. Even more sadly, my family and I have an entire Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales) trip (holiday) booked for this June! Our counter-clockwise is your anticlockwise, i. e., the M25 London Orbital.

Stumbled upon this jewel. Beautiful woman and I'm loving the accent.

Bit late to the party here but.... I put certain chocolates in the fridge because i think some chocolates are enhanced by being cooler and a bit more brittle. Wispa, Galaxy Caramel are two chocolates that i think taste pretty bad at room tempreture, but amazing when chilled. The different texture really makes a difference with them. Mars as well so i can pull the caramal and chocolate away from the nouget part and eat them seperately Things like Twix, Rolos, Picnic etc are all better a room tempreture. Fry's Turkish delight is the only one i put in the freezer. I prefer ma tomata sauce in the bin, so there's more room in the fridge for ma broom sauce haha. I used to keep them in the cupboard as it was the done thing growing up but i heard that all the preservatives were removed from sauces so they spoiled really quickly out of the fridge. + I think it actually makes stuff better with it being cold. I do the same with my books. I rarely read a book twice, so i dog ear them and crease the spine as well. But only with my own ones and not ones i borrow. Pineapple is great on pizza, but only on thin bases. On thick base pizzas it's not too good for some reason. Too much breed tae pineapple ratio maybe. Dogs for me. I like both, but i prefer dugs. TP over is probably better, but i do it under because i grew up like that and it seems weird to fit it the other way now haha. TP gets folded

Suuuuuuuuper late to the game here, but in my part of the US (West Coast/ Pacific NW) the mechanic is both a reference to the garage and the person fixing the car, but more so the person. So if someone says, "Im taking my car to the mechanic today," it means their taking it to the garage and the person, but... its more that their taking it to the person doing the fixing and the garage is a given. Hope thats helpful in a trivia sort of way and not rude! 😓 Really enjoy your videos!

Canada is sort of like this it’s postal code not zip code and the letter “z” is zed but we say “zeebra “ not “zedbra” and I always say bathroom at home and washroom in public because at home you have a bath but out and about you would just have a toilet and a sink to wash up if that makes any sense at all!!

aluminum and aluminium are spelt differently and its because the guy who named it originally name it alumium, then aluminum and then changed it to aluminium.

I've never really sat down and thought about it but I realized that we (Americans) usually say 'restroom' if we're in a public place and 'bathroom' if we're in someone's home. Because public toilets don't have baths so that term sounds strange, but homes almost always have baths in the same room as the toilet and you could be using the room for something else besides going to the toilet so it sounds more polite than 'toilet'. If I'm at my own/friends home I just say "i have to pee." and never say what room I need. And other things we used to specify, like Lawn/Garden. To us a lawn/yard is the grass around a house, but a garden is where you grow something specific like flowers or vegetables etc. I also realized we never say back lawn, it's always back yard, but front lawn, so I guess 'lawn' is more specific to the front of the house? It's so weird now that I'm thinking about it.
