The first brand to sell 'white out' in the UK, was called Tippex and that's what we've called it ever since. I dunno, I dont make the rules here 🤷🏾‍♀️

Most English speaking countries use the word "holiday" for their annual leave (Vacation). In the UK they would get 4 weeks to 6 weeks for they Annual Holiday plus they have are also paid for 10 more or less Public Holidays/ Bank Holidays per year.

Half ten or half past ten or 10:30🤣🤣🤣

I am always looking forward for a video from you guys,I loooved them, the conversations are so insightful. And they are fun to learn new things.

It's called Tipp-ex

That was so funny! love you guys! greatings from the nederlands mother of 3 grandmother of 5 granddauthers.

As South Africans we also use Tippex, trousers and cream athough pants and lotions are also common words. The way we pronounce and write English words is the way British do too. Colour instead of color. Flavour instead of flavor...etc. I don't know why y'all omit the letter u 😂 We use the same scale and date format. I think I would struggle moving to the US than England

You need to do reaction to one of the several UK regional accent descriptions videos on YT. Some are super helpful - done by (British) ESL / EFL teachers. It's an ear opener 😉. A few stand in front of a wall size map of of Britain and just point to different areas on the map and "Now here they talk like this..." and "[but] here they talk like this..." either immitating or doing video clips of accents from the respective different locations on the map. To the unfamiliar ear they might as well be speaking a different language completely in some localities. The topic names of common items of daily life it is a whole other thing. As others have mentioned sometimes it goes back to which corporation's marketing dept penetrated first so that their brand name is what has been grneralised and it is surprising when a specific brand name never gets universalised for a product. And it is weirdly arbitrary between different English-speaking countries all over the earth. But there are certain general differences nothing to do with corporate marketing, just history. Be shocked when I mention a couple of examples of varying degrees of embarrassment (before even mentioning slang): pants, vests, fags, rubbers (& even thongs, in Australia, I gather) & others which could end up in serious unnecessary trouble. Do your homework 🙄 I even think airlines should issue standard US English terms used at immigration desks at US airports for non-US English speakers🙄🤔 Enjoy!

Your eyes/lashes look so nice omg!

Wait until you hear about Quarter Past & Quarter to Times. For example Quarter Past Ten would be 10:15 while Quarter to Ten would be 9:45. We also use 24 hour cloak alot as well so the idea of "Military Time" doesn't really exist here it's just 24 hour as everyone uses it not just the Military or people who grew up in a military family. I personally prefer 24 hour and cannot stand the whole half and quarter when my mother uses it lol

This is really educating, especially how the dates are being written in both countries, the pronunciation and spelling of "Aluminium" or "Aluminum" and a whole lot more, as the case may be. People are suppose to know the differences whenever they visit either countries, so as not to get caught up in a state of confusion

Half ten is an abbreviation of half past ten which is likely an abbreviation of half an hour past ten. Hoover and Tipp-ex are brands that we use to refer to that particular type of item. Just as in the US you might say Kleenex or Saran Wrap (I’m not sure if I’ve spelt that correctly as it’s not a brand we have here). Nothing personal but it always surprises me how people from the US seem to get confused and/or shocked by the fact that English is spoken differently in other countries, though I think your TV production companies have to take at least some of the blame for that, as instead of exposing those watching their channels to the way things are outside of the US, they seem to be more likely to do remakes. Where I think most other English speaking countries just show the programme as it is, which gives the added benefit of learning a little about the other societies. Because let’s face it, you can’t know what you’ve either never been taught or exposed to.

@@lynnejamieson2063 I know. I grew up in a former British colony and I never heard of half ten🤣. We said half past ten. The younger generation are chopping words off. No patience!

I'm with you on the half ten. In German half ten would be half an hour to ten, so 9:30. When he said 10:30 I was like whaaaaaaaaaat? There is also quarter nine, which for some reason I can't fathom means 8:15 ... Tipp-Ex is just a type of whiteout, but so predominant on the market that the word has become a synonym, I think. Quite the same in Germany. I would call it Tipp-Ex as well. This video is so funny. It's the same when I went to Austria. You think you speak the same language for a while.... until you don't 🤣 But that's what makes travelling so fun 😄 Thx for the video 🙂

A quater to the hour, ie a quarter to 9, is 45 minutes past the hour, so a quarter to 9, would actually be 8.45. We also have 25, or 20 to the hour, meaning 35, or 40 minutes past. We do like to cause confusion 😂😂😂

Half ten, half past ten, ten-thirty we say it all lmao

half ten you lot still dont have fortnights and tippex is the brand name like hoover is the brand name for vacuum cleaner in britain - a cooler bin in aussie is called an "esky" because that was the brand name for cooler bins in australia - im sure americans call things by their brand name

American = Adeedes British = Adidas

In Ghana too we call it a tipper’s or a correction fluid

I am used to British terms since am Ugandans and we were colonized by British so I relate to the British giy

Half an hour = 30 mins Half 10 = Half past 10 [half an hour past/after 10]

The Demouchests, now you see what Nigerians go through in America! When we speak, we speak from our ethnic accent but much closer to the British English speaking! Then Americans think we have an African accent! I always say no, you Americans have accent and not us! LOL!!

A quick question for my fellow americans...does anyone remember calling it "Liquid Paper" also or just white out. I think I've predominantly called it white out Startin in the 90s but interchanged those names in the 80s?? obviously the use faded out with the use of computers and no longer used typewriters.

The British call most things by the first brand they had. Tippex is the first white out brand they had. I won’t be surprised if they call bleach Clorox! They say Hoover instead of Vacuum Cleaner etc. Americans call it what it actually does. This guy doesn’t speak how people are “supposed to speak” English! British accent is not necessarily good speaking. They have accents from their Hood. Brits have good and bad speakers just as Americans have good and bad speakers. This accent is not respected in England. In proper English, It’s bottle of water with the T pronounced. (The Proper received pronunciations). Bo’owoah is not proper and not emulated. Wall is pronounced wah, my brother Peter is Me brother Pe’ah. 🤣😂🤣😂They chop the words off more than Americans do.
