The Story Of English Program 6 Pioneers O Pioneers! Complete
Story of English: Program 6 features a discussion about Canadian English and how it is more heavily British-influenced than American English. The program goes on to examine various theories about American English from the Revolutionary War through the 1920s. A discussion of the influence of German, Spanish, Italian, and Eastern European Jewish immigrants is also included. One segment discusses Plains Indians English, and the origin of common phrases such as "long time no see" and "no can do." Alistair Cooke discusses the role of Noah Webste

12:40 And, if I may add, the Eastern Townships of Quebec, also settled by Loyalists, which is why Quebec English is similar, and it’s what I speak. But it’s a great series. Definitely! ⚜️🇨🇦 51:44 Leo Rosten’s characterization of Yiddish is so beautiful. ⭐️

Canadians and Americans have almost identical accents. Just the geography is different.

It's funny; I remember all these shows from PBS, but I don't remember them being so old-fashioned... it all seemed very "up-to-date" in 1986... Lol And, who the heck was Andrew Mellon anyway? He apparently paid for a great preponderance of PBS programs, but I'll be damned if I have any recollection of anything he did besides having a funny name and giving all his death-money to the corporate broadcasting system.

Indeed, I now realize that a lot has changed since 1986.
