John Polak No it's real. The general American accent and general Canadian accent do have one minor difference related to the pronunciation of words containing "or" Canadians always pronounce "or" the same so the "or" in sort sounds like the "or" in sorry, however if the "or" is followed by another "r" Americans pronounce it a bit differently, more like "ar". Most of the examples in the video are "orr" words. The other examples they gave are words with "ag" The difference here is that the American girl is not actually speaking with a general American accent instead I think she has a Northern Cities accent in which some of the vowels have shifted slightly.

I have a Canadian Friend on the internet & I had no idear what he was talking about when he said chesterfield. Just like The States have different slang in different states, maybe it's a regional thing? (My Canadian friend lives near the great lakes.) Or, he could've just been joking with me since I previously joked with him about his pronunciation & use of "about" "sorry" & "eh"

A lot of these words are generational. according to my sister (shes a linguist) a lot of the way we speak now has been greatly influenced by american media and such. a lot of magazine and TV shows are american made and have a great influence on the words we choose to say and our pronunciations. "back in the day" words like chesterfield and garburator were used all the time. its more commonly heard among the older generations.

+LukeBD150 As a Canadian that went to high school with Americans, I only ever heard them use "couch" or "sofa" and am pretty sure that none of them knew what a Chesterfield is. Canadian's brand name many items, whereas the US has 4 main words, Aspirin, Kleenex, Tampax & Vaseline. We even use them as verbs. Vacuuming in the US would be Hoovering (with a Hoover) irregardless of the brand. I've only heard of upright's or cannister vacuum's, never Hoover from the US (not including the specific brand). I realise (realize) this was more about (aboot) pronunciation, but our use of nouns in context with brands is the main difference. This also stems from the British (Plimsoles-Tennis shoes-sneakers in Canada, Byro-Bic-ballpoint in Canada, one of the only times we don't brand an item) One huge difference I get a kick out of is the American word 'actress", as I've seen so many Canadian female actors being interviewed in the US and I notice their reaction when they call themselves "an actor" and realise (realize) it's an Americanism they missed.

+Kevin Babb And just to burst the bubble of all of the Canadians saying chesterfield isn't a Canadianism for couch, I suggest you watch the season 5 premiere of "Lost Girl", a show that's been highly broadcast around the world for the last 5 years. At around the 20 minute mark, Dr. Lauren Lewis has been trying to get info on Valhalla from Tamsin. Tamsin then pulls a seat cushion off the couch and cuts it open with a blade to which Dr. Lewis replies "that's how you're going to help? By killing a chesterfield?" That line was heard by millions of people around the world in the last year. Sorry, but I know old school Canadian english. There's also been a trend to use "actress" on awards shows in Canada. Sounds better than "Female Actor in such & such category".

As there are many word uses or pronunciations in different parts of the U.S., I'm sure there are in Canada too. It's too big of a place to be all the same. If you did a video saying this is how we talk in the U.S., and only demonstrated one region, people from other regions would be up in arms. If you're a U.S. person search "how y'all youse and you guys talk, it's a test that tries to determine where you live by the way you talk. For me it said about an hour north of where I live, which isn't far enough off to complain about. Even if you're from Canada it will help you understand U.S. vocabulary better by seeing the answer choices.

+demeko96 You point out Canadians pronouncing words the French way as making sense, as you likely believe that our bilingual country is the reason for French pronunciations. But there is actually very little influence from Quebec French. Most of our odd French-like pronunciations are bc of our British influence. The British were influenced heavily by the French and they also pronounce many words the 'French way', as do most non-American anglophones. So the French way does come from French, but not French-Canadian, and goes back centuries before Americans changed the French pronunciations to the American way of saying them.

+demeko96 My pleasure! On the topic of Z being pronounced zed, it actually came into Latin from the Greek Zeta. After the Latin-speaking Roman Empire dissolved, Latin diversified/split into French, Spanish, Italian etc. over many centuries. That's why calling Z zed or zeta is common throughout those European languages, as they are just modern variations of Latin. Then it passed to the Brits from the French as zed, and the Brits spread it to India, Australia, North America etc. which is why all of those countries call it zed. In the 18th century Americans started calling it zee, in analogy to bee, dee, pee, and other letters. Now, due to Sesame Street and the ABC song rhyming z with v and me, the American way is catching on throughout the world, and in 100 years it will probably become the dominant form. Okay, I'll leave you alone now lol

For all the Canadians saying “Whaah! I’m Canadian and I don’t say some of those things so therefore they are not Canadian!”: 1. Learn to use logic. There are different Canadian accents and dialects, just as there are different American accents/dialects. I am American, and I don’t say everything like the “American” girl, but I now that many Americans do. 2. It is a broad comparison. Take all of the “Canadian” ways and ask yourself: Do any/many Americans say those? Answer: NO! Do many Canadians say them? Yes. Therefore, they are considered the “Canadian” variations. I have heard Canadians say ALL of these (except for Kraft Dinner) - including Chesterfield. If I meet someone and they say any of these, I am almost 100% sure that they are from Canada. Deal with it.

NOT EVEN MY GRANDMA AND SHE'S 80 YEARS OLD! XD but I also live in Ontario so maybe its only here we don't say it :), same thing for "garburator" or how ever you spell it xD its not even in my autocorrect of words xD then again it could only be in Ontario and actually I never saw a garbage disposal here :/ yes I or "we" call it a garbage disposal lol, ok for "bag" I do pronounce it like the Canadian girl :), same thing for "tag" i say it like the Canadian one, ok wtf is a "parkade" and who the fuck says that xD I just say "garage" lol, for mac and cheese tho it depends like if its the pasta with melted cheese than its "macaroni And cheese" but if its in a box with powdered cheese then its "kraft diner" lol, for "soother" i say "pacifier" AND "soother" :), and finally for "zed" I DO say "zed" but when I talk to english people (I'm french) I feel like I need to say "z"/"zee" or they won't understand lol, like lets say i talk to a english person and i need to spell something i would say like "zed" then be like "i mean zee"/"z" lol xD.

Correct me if I am wrong isn't the difference between a washroom and a bathroom a bath tub or a shower? I have a bathroom with a bath tub and a washroom room with a sink and a toilet?

In Canada both washroom/bathroom are interchangeable for both, there's no distinction between if it has a bath tub or not.

Yeah it's basically that, washroom and bathroom is the same thing and same purpose and for the bath tub part I normally just say I'm going to shower Dylan Fallis

I agree in the US we make a distinction and use other names like "restroom" too if it is in a public place.

In Canada at least, a washroom is a public lavatory, whereas a bathroom is a room in a private residence with at least a toilet and a sink. A bathroom without a tub or shower is often referred to as a powder room.

Interesting. It depends on which part of Canada or America you live in. My parents always said chesterfield, but as a girl living in Vancouver, I watched Seattle TV shows a lot and I use couch. I think of sofa as an American word. Couch is what most of my Canadian friends and family say now (in BC).

Omg, that's why. I've always followed American accent when I studied English because I thought there's barely difference between Canadian and American pronunciation. Then I came to Canada and whenever I say "bag" with American accent people never get it. Thank you for this video, it is so helpful to me.

I’m Canadian and commonly use couch. Chesterfield is a more formal term for me. I hear it mostly when my Oma says it. She moved to Canada from Germany as a kid so she has a very very subtle German accent.

I live in southwestern Ontario, and here we tend to refer to big trucks as 'transport trucks'. I've also heard 'big rig' or '18-wheelers'. However, when we talk about a 'semi', we usually mean a semi-detached house, and not a truck.

I like the Canadian accent! They pronounce things just like we Irish and British people do. For example: They call their mothers "mum" instead of "mom" like the Americans do. Canada was once part of the British Empire (now Commonwealth) which obviously must explain it.

VFN556 indeed, but since 1982, we can modify our constitution and our laws (without having to ask to the Queen). So we're independant (as a country), but not fully (since the Queen still representing us (as an ex-colony who's firmly allied to its motherland)... even if governor's "pseudo-powers" can easily be silenced by the parliament).

Relax, this is just a general idea of some of the differences between how some american and Canadians say different words. You have to remember that Canada is a hodge podge of people from all over the world, so not only are words/pronunciations going to change from area to area, they can easily be different from family to family. For example, I did hear the word chesterfield growing up a lot, but it was mostly used when referring to older furniture, anything new we just called a couch . Another example: my family always uses the word napkins, but my friends family says serviette. There's no one "Canadian" way to say things. A lot of these did come up when i was in the states for university, people would hear me say pasta, sorry or washroom(or god forbid , see me spell cheque) and ask why I said(or spelled) them that way, was a good conversation starter sometimes actually, lol.

Canadian speech: "Call me" or "Phone me" are both used in Canada. "I'll phone you later" is rarely used. "Chesterfield" is now rarely used. On survey, majority of Canadians will say "Couch" or "Sofa". But with that being said, we are more in line with British English so "Chesterfield" is what we should be saying. "Foyer" is from French origin. Canadians will pronounce it closer to how the French do: "fȯi-ˌ(y)ā", Americans will pronounce it like how it is spelled. "Bathroom" is miss-used in both American and Canadian English. "Bathroom" should be used where there is a place to shower or bathe. "Washroom" or "Public rest room" should be used when it is not a place you can bathe. We have become lazy and don't care to separate the two. With more and more American TV and media being viewed in Canada, we are starting to lose some of our words, sayings, and spellings. How many Canadians spell "Colour" with a "U" any more? Most people will have their spell check set to American English which will flag "Colour" and make them correct it to "Color". Eventually all they will type is "Color".
