@ShadeToSun You're confusing well spoken with gay, I assume because most gay people you know are also well spoken? A lot of Americans think all Brits sound gay which is quite offensive and weird.
Cool fact - In the early days of colonization in the Americas, the American accent then was closer to the English accent now and the the English accent was closer to what the American accent is now. The main difference is the transition in both dialects to and from being rhotic (rhotic referring to the pronunciation of the 'r' sound). So there is no 'right' and 'wrong', 'original', 'correct' or 'incorrect' really. They're just different and touting one as better than the other is stupid.
I forgot about first floor and ground floor, because I live in the US since 1994. I'm from Brussels, Belgium, and I'm African and Caribbean origin. Great video. I had to relearn the difference between the first floor and ground floor...
British English: Welsh (yes, they are what's left of the original residents of Britainia) + Latin + French + German, with some Hindi and Chinese mixed in.
American English: All of the British + Native American + Portuguese + Spanish + any other words we liked the sound of.
@redmnm123 In England the school years are years foundation-6 at primary school (seven years all together) than it years 7-11 at secondary school than you go to sixth form/college for 2 years. After which most people would go to university.
Can you explain how school goes? Like the different grades. Like grades 1-5 is elementary school, 6-8 is middle school and 9-12 is high school. I heard the UK school system is different.
@redmnm123 In britain we have, for example, primary school starting with Nursery, reception, reception 2 then year 1 up to year 6 (out year 6 is your grade 5) then we go to secondary school from year 7 to 11 and the last 2 years we either go to college of 6th form hope tht helped :)
@redmnm123 You have reception which is for 5-6 year olds. Then you have year 1 to 6 in primary school. (ages 6/7 to 11/12). Then after primary school students progress to Highschool ages 11/12 to 16. Then after that you have the CHOICE to go to College for 2 or 3 years depending if you pass or not. Then you go to University for Degree.
In highschool students can achieve GCSE grades (qualification) IN college students can achieve A levels and in University degrees
Woo, go the North! :D I'm from the Wirral, but have moved down South (waaaay down South, all the way to Canterbury) for uni - slowly converting all me mates into Northerners - they now say Tar instead of Thanks. Anyway, I have cousins in Ilinois and so randomly pop onto blogs like these to see what Americans make of our "British" accent. Decided I love yours the most just becuase your a Northerner! 'bout time the US heard our side.
I'm from America and the word realtor doesn't make sense to me either. But we do sometimes call them a real-estate agents but normally we just say realtor
Something else, when Americans refer to "jumpers" a lot of us refer to the one piece suit that a car mechanic would wear or a prisoner would wear. Love the videos :D
And to us Americans, a pinafore is an apron, except that we don't call it that anymore. And if you are in the elevator of an office building, they will might have a button marked G (sometimes it's B), but if you press that you will not go to the Ground floor, you will go the the underground Garage.
true English sounds nice, but some people sound just fuckin crazy! is this the same for you, but reverse? do some Americans sound completely stupid to you? the answer is probably yes. can British copy American dialect as easy as we can adapt to pure English?
@GONNASLAPYOMOMMA British English is not pure english. American English and Briitish English just developed separately because of the distance of the countries.
@Da1UHideFrom no such thing as 1 true english language its constantly evolving notice i avoided the words Developing or Going Backward.
dont know why they call themselves English thats like spain calling itself Visigothia or something there was a Terrible invasion by normandy changed the island Completely you know. Regards
@troddsy William the Conqueror pushed the natives into Wales, I'm a history buff myself. My point was towards GONNASLAPYOMOMMA who called British English 'pure English'.
@Da1UHideFrom havent perused his account but must be odd having a name like that! since you know quite alot would you suggest the angles and saxons were at war with each other until a specified time? strange the jutes get barely any mention

Fun fact :) In early America, when they were voting on a national language, the English language won over German by 1 vote. 1 miniscule, or I suppose in this case it wasn't quite miniscule, vote and everyone could have been speaking German. Fascinating to me, really. Not to be off topic, just something I thought of when you brought up the whole UKs saying it's their language and they speak it better.
@CaptainProtonEIC This was early, colonial America, when the only states in the "US" were the earliest ones. English is the official language of at least 28 states, including those early states from that time of voting.
@username951100 i don't.. i like the welsh and scots and irish.. only person i dont actually like is piere or however his name is spelt.. its annoying because when your talking to a friend and the french cunt pushes you out the way to talk about cheese and baguettes (not saying all french say that as i like some french people) gets kind of annoying
and doesn't matter both countries are great they have they're own amazing things and they both have they're downfalls all countries do nones perfect nones horrible
@Ericules555 You're definitely not from the UK then ;) Anyone from London would know clearly that I'm from 'The North', my accent's not noticable so much to Americans, but in the UK its quite clear.
@TRWolf My ancestors (some of them, anyway) came from near Manchester, so I have been curious as to what the local English sounds like. When I listen to you I can tell you're from the north because of your l's produced in the back of the throat and your short u's (as in much) but i really don't hear much regional accent. By contrast, I understand very little when someone speaks with a thick Scouse accent.
@pacmandem lol to be honest the only one i can tell apart is the harsh cockney accent which sounds aussie n is similar to the southern accent here gerogia alabama etc..
@Ericules555 Yeah i know what you mean. there's 'new-skool' cockney which sortof emerged late 90s early 2000s which is locally termed "jafaican". you might like havin a look at that...
I know you said not to comment on the realtor but alot of Americans pronounce it like we would if it were spelled relator I think it might be a southern and Yankee type of a thing though :)
See, when I hear a British accent, I assume that you're posh or stuck-up, even though I know that's a bad assumption. And I assume you're very smart because most Brits are generally very well-spoken. I stop myself from assuming that in conversation though, as it would be quite rude. I have one British friend, and after a little while I got used to it and didn't think anything of the accent at all. Funny how that works! I love your video by the way, very informative and cool!
@pillok91 Why do you Brits always think that by calling us Yanks we're suppose to feel insulted? We love that name. In fact we have a base-ball team called the New York Yankies. Besides the yankies won the civil war and they fought for a good cause (free'd the blacks from slavery). So to all you British people who think that "yanks" is insulting us, it's not!!
@babyboy3kingz wow you idiot. none of us use it as an insult. its just what we call you. we dont think it offends you because we know it isn't an insult. most of us know that you have a team called the new york yankies so dont talk as if its new information. so the next time a brit calls you a "yank" dont take it the wrong way as you did with me.
@pillok91 "no one cares. you're all yanks" Umm yeah, ok you "idiot". Alot of you Brits do try and use it as an insult. I should know, I've been arguing with you dumb-fucks on these channels (tooth & nail) for quite some time know. But what ever home boy!!
@babyboy3kingz yanks hve called me a "fuckin brit" and stuff but i dont take it as an insult.not my fault if you take things the wrong way. if you spend so much time arguin with brits on these channels then id suggest you find a different pass time.
@pillok91 I have plenty to do but I never back down from a challenge especially if the challenge is coming from a Loud mouthed Brit!! BEsides I just explained to you that the word Yank is not insulting, so I really dont know what you're talking about!! Either way tak care and God bless!!
@babyboy3kingz a loud mouthed brit? funny seein how you've said more than me and you're using exclamation marks which indicates that you're the loud mouth and you're the one stressin out. you dont know what im talking about? not too clever huh? try calming the fuck down.
@babyboy3kingz - Just FYI, people from the southern part of the U.S. also sometimes call people from New England "yanks," and they absolutely mean it in an insulting way.
@Rioxka Really? He's from an utterly different part of the country from me! I wouldn't mind doing the voice of Wheatley though that would've been fun, hehe.
Who proposes the UK becoming the 51st state of the union or becoming a commonwealth territory of the US? We will inherit countries like Australia, Canada, New Zealand and other countries
what's with all the hateful comments on this video? random people attacking homosexuality and politically correct usage of the word "yank." although honestly if someone from the UK called me that, I'd remember from American History that it's just what Americans were called. You can't expect them to know exactly which states were the yankees in the Civil War. They're just sticking to their history in which we are all yanks.
@NYWAORCANZ I call my girl friends "guys" all the time. Honestly, I'm sure the fact that I actually don't know what the difference between "Great Britain" "The UK" "England" etc is unfairly ignorant, but it doesn't change the fact that when I say "The UK" I mean "those people in the vaguely England-ish area with the cute accents." Why expect a British person to recognize a distinction that, sadly, many Americans don't even recognize.
@christiscoming1 look darling, being gay isn't a curse god gave us the right of free will and that is just how we like it. god didn't create cars we did. god didn't create medicine, MRI's, cat scans and books and literature so by your logic any one who uses something god dint create must repent and not use it
@KONKRETEJUNGLE1 Treacle tart is a traditional English dessert. It is made using shortcrust pastry, with a filling made out of golden syrup (also known as light treacle... there's also dark treacle which is thick and horrible, and for some reason popular on Bonfire Night) ...a little lemon butter, and breadcrumbs. The tart is normally served hot or warm with a scoop of clotted cream, ordinary cream, ice cream or custard. Some more recent recipes add cream or eggs to make a softer filling.
Interesting linguistics article I read a few months go (which for the life of me I cannot remember, apologies) claimed that the US accent is in fact closer to Old British than the accent [received pronunciation mostly] you hear nowadays in the UK.
I think it makes sense, think about it, the intonation goes up on the letter "a" and the letter "r" is more pronounced in Northern England and US than it is in Southern England (where the RP English is mostly spoken).
@BowNow If you're talking about the pre Anglo-Celtic collision then the article comes as no surprise. My American friend always heralds his country's literature as the finest for it's tradition of breaching the boundaries of sytnax, or at least, as he bluntly put it, "it's free". I pointed out to him that Irish literature did this long before and Mark Twain can be considered a cognate writer of the Irish vein.
I wish you'd recall the article of mention - bet it'd make a jolly good read!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What I am saying is that been Gay is not from God, is from satan. Only God can create but the devil he can't so he use his own methods.
Yes been gay is not from God, God never desired any human being to be gay. Please get it straight.
God does loves the gay people But He dislike the things that they do, not only gay people but all of us. And this is Why we have to abide in him, listened to the voice of God
he will remove the curse or bad spirit in you. But we must confess our sins.
@Christiscoming1 If you believe god did not intend homosexuality, how do you explain the fact that a large portion of giraffe sex is homosexual? And no I am not being snide, I would actually like to hear you explanation. Being that giraffes are not an isolated case, when not pursuing a female for the purpose of reproduction there have been numerous reports of same-sex couplings occurring in a multitude of animal species, homosexual and bisexual tendencies are found to be quite common in nature.
@Christiscoming1 can you PLEASE not bring religion into this?! So what if he's gay? Is he harming you in any way? Why would you want to change him?! GOD made him the way he is...
@Christiscoming1 I didn't choose to be gay, it's just who I am. Did you choose to be straight? I don't know any gay people who would have purposely chosen to be gay, because it's not easy.
As for my "lifestyle", I don't dress in drag and go to gay bars or anything, I just happen to be in love with someone who is male rather than female. It's hardly doing anyone any harm.
I'm czech and sometimes I am very confused. For instance I couldn't understand what is the difference between "first floor" and "ground floor", until one my friend (she is an American) explained me. Why is it not unified?
also we do play american football in the uk infact we have our own league and teams, rounders IS NOT baseball rounders is softball and in australia they play soccer call it fotball play american football rugby and their own national sport aussie rules football whbich I like a cross polination between rugby soccer and american football.
Im spanish and i moved to Uk like one year ago, right. i think that uk english and amrican english is THE SAMe the difference is just some words and sentences and in uk people speak faster! But i like it! sometimes i get anoying with the fucking language ;) cause i just hear Bla Bla Bla...
@twilightsagasuperfan Spanish can sound fast too! Whenever I was on holiday in Spain, I found myself trying to remember the little Spanish I'd learnt, and was constantly saying "Despasito Por Favor!" lol
@TRWolf thats funny cause for intance my mom always used to say to brithis people: can you speak slow so that I can unferstand u hahaha in my opinion i dont speak spanish so fast but maybe when you r learning a new language it seems faster isnt it?! But i still love english is quite interesting!

@pillok91 Why do you Brits always think that by calling us Yanks we're suppose to feel insulted? We love that name. In fact we have a base-ball team called the New York Yankies. Besides the yankies won the civil war and they fought for a good cause (free'd the blacks from slavery). So to all you British people who think that "yanks" is insulting us, it's not!!

@babyboy3kingz wow you idiot. none of us use it as an insult. its just what we call you. we dont think it offends you because we know it isn't an insult. most of us know that you have a team called the new york yankies so dont talk as if its new information. so the next time a brit calls you a "yank" dont take it the wrong way as you did with me.

@pillok91 "no one cares. you're all yanks" Umm yeah, ok you "idiot". Alot of you Brits do try and use it as an insult. I should know, I've been arguing with you dumb-fucks on these channels (tooth & nail) for quite some time know. But what ever home boy!!

@pillok91 I have plenty to do but I never back down from a challenge especially if the challenge is coming from a Loud mouthed Brit!! BEsides I just explained to you that the word Yank is not insulting, so I really dont know what you're talking about!! Either way tak care and God bless!!

@babyboy3kingz a loud mouthed brit? funny seein how you've said more than me and you're using exclamation marks which indicates that you're the loud mouth and you're the one stressin out. you dont know what im talking about? not too clever huh? try calming the fuck down.

@babyboy3kingz - Just FYI, people from the southern part of the U.S. also sometimes call people from New England "yanks," and they absolutely mean it in an insulting way.

what's with all the hateful comments on this video? random people attacking homosexuality and politically correct usage of the word "yank." although honestly if someone from the UK called me that, I'd remember from American History that it's just what Americans were called. You can't expect them to know exactly which states were the yankees in the Civil War. They're just sticking to their history in which we are all yanks.

fall used to be a part of autumn, in the celtic calendar- which was divided into, i think three parts.
particularly, the part before leaves are fully falling but a sudden drop in light and heat in mid september was something different.- the solemning.
and the more wintery november end also had another name before going into yule.

@NYWAORCANZ I call my girl friends "guys" all the time. Honestly, I'm sure the fact that I actually don't know what the difference between "Great Britain" "The UK" "England" etc is unfairly ignorant, but it doesn't change the fact that when I say "The UK" I mean "those people in the vaguely England-ish area with the cute accents." Why expect a British person to recognize a distinction that, sadly, many Americans don't even recognize.

KONKRETEJUNGLE1 9 months ago
@KONKRETEJUNGLE1 Treacle tart is a traditional English dessert. It is made using shortcrust pastry, with a filling made out of golden syrup (also known as light treacle... there's also dark treacle which is thick and horrible, and for some reason popular on Bonfire Night) ...a little lemon butter, and breadcrumbs. The tart is normally served hot or warm with a scoop of clotted cream, ordinary cream, ice cream or custard. Some more recent recipes add cream or eggs to make a softer filling.

Interesting linguistics article I read a few months go (which for the life of me I cannot remember, apologies) claimed that the US accent is in fact closer to Old British than the accent [received pronunciation mostly] you hear nowadays in the UK.
I think it makes sense, think about it, the intonation goes up on the letter "a" and the letter "r" is more pronounced in Northern England and US than it is in Southern England (where the RP English is mostly spoken).

BowNow 9 months ago
@BowNow If you're talking about the pre Anglo-Celtic collision then the article comes as no surprise. My American friend always heralds his country's literature as the finest for it's tradition of breaching the boundaries of sytnax, or at least, as he bluntly put it, "it's free". I pointed out to him that Irish literature did this long before and Mark Twain can be considered a cognate writer of the Irish vein.
I wish you'd recall the article of mention - bet it'd make a jolly good read!

What I am saying is that been Gay is not from God, is from satan. Only God can create but the devil he can't so he use his own methods.
Yes been gay is not from God, God never desired any human being to be gay. Please get it straight.
God does loves the gay people But He dislike the things that they do, not only gay people but all of us. And this is Why we have to abide in him, listened to the voice of God
he will remove the curse or bad spirit in you. But we must confess our sins.

@Christiscoming1 If you believe god did not intend homosexuality, how do you explain the fact that a large portion of giraffe sex is homosexual? And no I am not being snide, I would actually like to hear you explanation. Being that giraffes are not an isolated case, when not pursuing a female for the purpose of reproduction there have been numerous reports of same-sex couplings occurring in a multitude of animal species, homosexual and bisexual tendencies are found to be quite common in nature.

@Christiscoming1 I didn't choose to be gay, it's just who I am. Did you choose to be straight? I don't know any gay people who would have purposely chosen to be gay, because it's not easy.
As for my "lifestyle", I don't dress in drag and go to gay bars or anything, I just happen to be in love with someone who is male rather than female. It's hardly doing anyone any harm.
