When the British say they're going on a holiday, I'm thinking 🤔, what holiday is it? In America, I say, I'm going on a vacation.

I live in Michigan and can say that I've never heard of some of the ways he says Americans say words.

@anitapeludat256 4 месяца назад

Me too, but in a way, Michigan is somewhat isolated from other states. People go there for family reasons. However, many Michiganders often rarely leave the state. Everyone goes, "up north". And outdoor activities are so abundant in Michigan. Each coast is different, I lived in Traverse City for a while and grew up in Royal Oak . My Dad and I fished in so many different lakes. And the U.P. is a whole other world. It wasn't until I moved to Connecticut and traveled more, that I realized, my Michigan family had a somewhat isolated perspective. It's not wrong, but it's quite narrow in many ways. No one is aware of it, unless they move away. It's still my favorite state and home. And I love my Vernors.

@amyadams656 2 месяца назад

I'm a US citizen and I had similar issues when I moved to a different part of the country. In the UK you say fizzy drink, however, in the US where I grew up, one says pop. When I moved to a different part of the US I had to learn to say what they called it, which was soda. There were some people in that region who did not understand the word pop, meaning soda. They understood the word pop as meaning to hit someone. So I began calling it soda for over 10 years and now it's hard to go back to saying the word pop.

@kookiekris 4 месяца назад

@BalokLives 4 месяца назад

I lived in California my entire life and everyone called it soda. My father called it pop, and I found that strange. Some people I knew called all soda coke. It didn't matter if it was Dr. Pepper, Sprite, or Rootbeer, they called it Coke. It didn't even phase the waitresses who quickly added, "Which would you like? We have Rootbeer, Coca Cola, Sprite, or Orange." That always amazed me, it was like they could read minds. One thing I never understand from these videos is when people say they can't understand Brits. Either in terminology, or accent, I don't believe I have ever had an issue understanding people from the UK. Only trouble I ever had was when someone I knew from Australia said deemine instead of domain. It took several repetitions of the word before I finally understood what he was saying.

@burnout_2017 4 месяца назад

The other thing i dont agree with is i always hear on these videos that us in the south say coke when we want a soda...not true...when we say we want a coke, well, we want a coke and not a sprite or root beer. Or we ask "do you sell coke" meaning coke products or pepsi products. And since i drink pepsi i will never say lets stop for a coke. But having grew up in pittsburgh, we call it pop there, but ive been a- clima-tized...😅

@Big_Tex 4 месяца назад

Actually a couple of those words that he says he pronounces the american way It's actually the Midwestern way because down South.We say presentation with a lower case.E, and we also say insurance with the emphasis on sur not in. Maybe the closeness in our pronunciations is why it's easier for an english person to step into a hollywood southern role then it is for a northern american.

Interesting--Laurence said, "Do you want to get Chinese takeaway?" Two observations--in America we say, "Takeout," although we probably call for Delivery. The other thing is that Americans will say, "Do you want to get Chinese," meaning Chinese food. We will say Italian for Italian food. (However, pizza is a separate category. When you say you want Italian, it's not about pizza. It's about lasagna, spaghetti, Chicken Parmigiano, fettuccine, etc.)

@Marrero79 4 месяца назад

I’m thinking that maybe in the areas where Laurence has lived they pronounce some words differently from the way we pronounce them where I live, which is in upstate New York. Here we pronounce insurance and presentation exactly as he says they are pronounced in the UK.

In Western Massachusetts we pronounce insurance and presentation like you do in New York; i.e. the way the British apparently do.😊

Something to note is that different areas of the US have different accents and words for things. The way we say things is also incredibly different. In some areas of the south, if you hear, “bless your heart,” you basically just got roasted harder than Eminem could ever dream of pulling off. Also, as an American who has only known a few people from the Uk, my vocabulary is a bit mixed, but predominantly American, leaning towards a southern style.

He says “presentation” and “insurance” like a mid-westerner (which is where he lives). Many of us say those words more like the British do. There are over two dozen different accents here in the US, so pronunciation depends on where you live.

Somethings that British say I've grown up with and are pretty common around here. But having read fanfiction from British writers the word that gets under my skin in prised. We pry things out of places not prised them. Dates I switch back and forth because official legal documents are Day/Month/Year and the rest of the time it's other way around. When I write, I change from USA English grammar check to British if I'm say writing Doctor Who fics. Helps me keep them in British speaking patterns and words :) Pediatric is health care for children. So pediatric dentist is a dentist for kids. Esophagus is how I was taught to spell it.

As far as the accent…My grandma is 86…was born in Ireland came to America in her late teens early 20’s and she mostly uses American sayings but her accent has never left… I’ll admit it gets stronger after talking with her siblings or if she’s upset but honestly growing up, with her raising me I never realized she had an accent until my friends would call the house and point it out lol, it may weaken but I don’t think accents ever actually change/disappear unless your trying…more than 60years and now that I’m out of the house I can pick up on it more…but yea… never goes away completely. Side note: I use climatize and acclimate In different situations not interchangeably..usually climatize is more specific to region and getting used to environmental differences (ex. Living in Cali where it’s always sunny and rarely drops below 50*f to moving to ks where it can get to the neg.) and acclimate is more getting used to situational or geographical differences

I dated a Brit for 10 years and spent quite a bit of time in the UK. I used British terminology just to avoid confusion speaking with others, not out of habit. People wouldn’t immediately know what I meant when I used American phraseology like the “gas station”. I picked up on things real quick. Example: The lawn is the garden. Hilariously, asking for tomato sauce resulted in being given ketchup. Lemonade is NOT what we call lemonade. It’s more akin to Sprite…definitely carbonated.
