I do prefer British English but listening to this episode I realized once more what a mix (or as we Germans say: Misch-Masch) I am speaking and writing! I guess that is because some of my teachers at school prefered American and some British English (and I had about a dozen English teachers!), and nowadays at work, I am exchanging mails with my colleagues in London - and one is Irish and the other one American. Never mind, I envy you all for your "lingua franca" and keep up the excellent work with your podcast (both of you!).

As a native German speaker with a master's degree in English and translation, I am familiar with both versions i.e. British English and American English having lived in both countries. I personally prefer British English and sometimes use British expressions here in the States where I currently reside and will get weird looks 🙂. But I usually just use the word that is used in the particular country switching from trunk to boot or from chips to crisps etc.

Very interesting! I'm a student learning standard German but when I learned the word "Fleischhauer", that has naturally become my preferred word to describe a "butcher" than the word Metzger because it's naturally easier for me to say it as a native speaker of American English. 😊

12:20 - The subtitles: *_two_*_ maths for me_ 😁 You know, I'm rather torn between the two, Mitch, old mate. Learning English at school it was American English I was exposed to the most, except for two teachers who spoke an excellent British English. And then you have all the books I read and the computer games I played, where there would also be a pretty well-balanced mix of both varieties. Nowadays, I tend to use the British accent more and more often, even though here in Mexico it's of course the American one that's got the upper hand. Both British and American English can be either casual and relaxed, or elegant and sophisticated, it depends on the speakers involved and the context, but I admit I do prefer them both when they're the latter, _much_ more awesome. 😎 Definitely looking forward to that second part of American vs British English! Justin's also very cool, I think it would be great if he started his own American English episodes for Easy English. 👍 Big hug to both of you!

On the continent a lot of people who've learned English as a second language speak it with an irish accent, attesting to the huge number of Irish tutors who moved there. I'm not sure what version of these particular words they used. Al-u-min-i-um is a misspelling in America, which is why it's not used. There the word is spelled "aluminum." The one that kills me in the UK is the English who pronounce "a" as "or." For instance -- a woman named Magda becomes "Magdor." Agenda becomes "agendor." What law of English pronunciation is at work here? It would seem that the so-called posh people made this up. Justin was brilliant. I was with him all the way and just wondered how come Mitch didn't give over even ONE word?

I prefer English from the country it's from obviously. Not some weird dialect of it.

Chemist Humphry Davy first referred to it as "Alumium", but ultimately settled on "Aluminum. The Brits added the extra "i" so that it sounded like the other elements (ending in "ium") and more like classical Latin. In many regards, American English is the original or older form of English because Americans seperated from England and retained words that fell out of use in England. Just like the term "soccer". The British hate the term and especially because they don't understand how it came to be, but it comes from the British term "aSSOCiation Football", and it got shortened to "assoc" when being written about in the newspapers. With the influence of Oxford "er" slang, it became "Assoccer" and lastly became "Soccer".
