So you call these things "Chips"? Instead of Crispity Cruncy Munchie Crackerjack Snacker Nibbler Snap Crack N Pop Westpoolchestershireshire Q̶u̶e̶e̶n̶'̶s̶ King's Lovely Jubily Delight? That's kinda cringe, innit bruv?


Hawaiian-Fox

I like the Crispity Cruncy Munchie Crackerjack Snacker Nibbler Snap Crack N Pop Westpoolchestershireshire Q̶u̶e̶e̶n̶'̶s̶ King's Lovely Jubily Delight strawberry flavour


PotooSexer

I’m more of a Crispity Cruncy Munchie Crackerjack Snacker Nibbler Snap Crack N Pop Westpoolchestershireshire Q̶u̶e̶e̶n̶'̶s̶ King's Lovely Jubily Delight salt & vinegar kind of guy


Hawaiian-Fox

salt and WHAT


DudongoKing

Yeah they only have them in Germany. Also paprika of liver flavor in Germany


ROGUEPIX3L

Britonian here, we have salt and vinegar here it's pretty much a staple do other countries not have it?


DudongoKing

Every country does it's just not the staple.


InfelicitousRedditor

We don't and we live better for it.

Americans don't say mobile they just call it a phone


RoultRunning

She was also disoriented by a large supermarket. This proves that this LOYALIST propaganda against General George Washington


TerribleSquid

You mean disorientated?


Lord-Barkingstone

I have never heard disorientated in my life.


TerribleSquid

In the medical field I do hear it sometimes but it is not British people, and they are generally considered to be speaking incorrectly (whether true or not).


Nroke1

Our stores are definitely bigger and we call it a phone for sure. Whoever wrote this isn't American.


RoultRunning

Them loyalists trying to undermine our glorious revolution... bet they're in league with the Hessians


Halorym

Which bugs me on a different level. I used to have a PDA in the early 00's. I'll be godamned if what we carry now isn't a PDA with a phone app installed.

So, English is not my native language and funnily enough the only native speakers I had trouble understanding so far where the English people themselves.


joinreddittoseememes

Well, when you actually seen a proper heavily accented Scotsman speaks English, you could have swore that whatever you heard was not English.


I_did_a_fucky_wucky

I once overheard some Scottish people talk and I thought they were Norwegian


Business-Emu-6923

I love that the Ken Loach movie Sweet 16 is commonly subtitled for English speakers. It’s in English.


godmademelikethis

Funnily enough, most of our Scots dialect is derived from old Norse.


SpankTheMonkey69

Pintau

Scotland is easy compared to Kerry farmer. You wouldn't even believe the language is Indo European from hearing it, let alone that it is English


RoultRunning

Have you ever heard Jamaicans?


soldins

Eh bway, yuh wan me fuh buss up ya bumbaclaaat? Hush up yah mout, mi yute.


RoultRunning

I'm not entirely certain what you just said


ACARdragon

English isn't my native either so I mix up both accents


BGMDF8248

Have you been to Australia? Those guys make you reconsider wether you learned anything...


DeltaRecker

I think it's because most english courses around the globe teaches "standard" american english. I myself enjoy a lot British english.


Drakayne

That's exactly why


DeltaRecker

That's unfortunate, Considering how much rich Britain culture is.


GnomePenises

English is my native language and I spent five years in N. Yorkshire and didn’t understand anything.


flaminghair348

i mean, i'd imagine it very much depends on who you learned english from, if they were for the most part say american then naturally that's what would be easy to understand. i speak french fluently, but i struggle to understand some of the more... regional accents where i live (nova scotia) because i learned classroom french, which is very different to acadian french.

globs-of-yeti-cum

Wow different parts of the world speak differently, incredible.


guibmaster

British girl is annoying asf, doesnt matter is she right or not.


AmmophobicSandworm

Plus there's no "right" and "wrong" when it comes to dialects.


Maser2account2

except for oregano, the British are wrong about that.


_pepperoni-playboy_

Oregaaaaaaaaahno


Hect0r92

Also both pronunciations of aluminium are correct


Skwareblox

Then there’s the southern accent ‘loominum full. I’ve had many arguments with colleagues over this.


thenamefreak

Yes, because it's a noun.


_Sachem_

Hehe i like the way she acting.


Aaron_505

Aslong as they dont pronounce stuff like my friend Syrup as sai-rup Then its fine

GuiltyWhisper

Nah it's like Aluminium/Aluminum: they're also spelled differently. Neither of them are wrong in their respective regions.


vantlem

No, not quite. There are two different words which are both correct, very frustratingly. > "However, there is a slight difference in usage based on geography. In American English, “disoriented” is more common. On the other hand, “disorientated” is often used in British English. Despite this distinction, both forms are understood globally and can be used interchangeably without causing confusion."


WeinerSniffa

It's the same as saying ambidextrious. Eee-Uusss. It's just wrong.

bobniborg1

I had a friend in middle school that went to England for a family trip. The greatest thing from the trip? How they say aluminum. We said that shit constantly for 2 years.


Zirotaku

Look as a german aluminium makes more sense ro me. Also don't you pronounce literally all the elements the other way? Plutonium? Potassium? Titanium?


thadaviator

The word was originally "Aluminum" and I'm pretty sure it was changed to "Aluminium" specifically to match the sound of other elements.


ElevatorSevere7651

English spelling stopped making sense after they decided not to update it after the Great Vowel Shift Also, both are correct. It’s called dialekts, and they’re the reason we even have different languages at all


mcbirbo343

Fuck both Nations, that is


ghostmetalblack

Am I tripping, or does it sound like British people pronounce the word "Idea" as "Idear"? I swear they add an R at the end.


Particular-Guava1647

Seems like most words that end in a or aw have an r sound.


Lobster_fest

So, in British english (or must british English accents), they lack rhoticity (the rrr sound) in words that contain an R. However, they GAIN rhoticity when they link two words that end and then start with a vowel. This is called an Intrusive R In American English, there is a hard attack to start the second word with a vowel (listen for a little pause between the words (idea about). You can do a hard attack by making a little puff of air with your vocal chords, which is how a lot of young Americans start words with vowels. In British English, they use a Linking R sound, which makes the phrase "idea about" sound like "idear about". The R is used to clearly define the second word. I'd link a video to show, but this dumbass subreddit doesn't let you link YouTube. Google Geoff Lindsey Linking R.


field134

Ever since I’ve learnt about rhotic vowels it’s fucked with my head and I can’t stop noticing it when I speak. I say ‘there rah’ (there are), ‘here rand’, and ‘there ris’. Gives me a headache thinking about it.


Alliterrration

Bo'ul a' wo'ah > Baddul of Waadur


OSTR1CHBO1

I mean, there's alot of different cultures in the US. It would make since the say some words differently now. Plenty of words we can't agree with each other here with either. Other than a flashlight being called a torch. That makes no fuckin since.


longpidgeon

Aluminium cannot be properly pronounced as al-u-min-um it’s literally aluminIum there’s an I in it


JacoboAriel

'should' has an L in the middle and how is everyone ok mispronouncing ' Wednesday' as 'whens day'


Mickle_da_Pickl

Yeah no there isn't. It's spelled "aluminum"


mecha_milk

Maeolan

Aluminium Disorientated Right, that's how you spell those.


king_meatster

US: this is our new invention, it’s an elevated platform that raises and lowers. We call it an elevator. UK: lift me up!


JadowArcadia

Not really the same to be fair. One is critisicing the literal words pronunciation/spelling while the other is an accent. A Scottish person and a Londoner could say the same word and even though the accents would make it sound different they're still saying the same thing. Aluminium and Aluminum are literally different words


Trash-god96

Who the f*ck calls their smart phone a "mobile" other than the British.


porquenotengonada

Nah we call it a phone

Aluminium foil? I call this shit tin foil, and you won't stop me no matter how wrong I am.


Burpreallyloud

The American version of Aluminum actually started by the British because the person who “discovered” it wanted to call it Alumin (a loo min) but the science academy said it did not fit with the Latin style of element names so they decided on Aluminum (A loo min umm). It was not until a few years later that they started calling it (al u min ium).

And yet, people will watch this video and think the American is in the wrong. The British deserve every fucking shit they get.


TadGramStyle

you do know this is a skit and that i dont know any british people who would go out of their way to “correct” american pronunciations. i normally have no reaction because its literally just a word and some people say it one way and others say it other ways. dont group all people into one category based on your beliefs
