Usually it is the other way around because the rest of the English speaking world gets so much American TV and film that we all understand them because we are used to hearing them but they are not used to hearing different non American accents and usually dont understand.

@@heilong79 yeah that is true I'm noticing a lot about that from watching this channel. I mean it's understandable as you guys are all so uniquely different in every way possible the only common thing is the English language, that's it.

.

@@heilong79 ok.

@@gilsonpires7770 the original post I was replying to has been changed so what I say has no context now.

Gurl, you rule. Love you in each video.

Lauren 🥰🥰🥰

😍⚘

Inyonge haseooo 😍

Would be cool to see Different foods, Candy/Sweets

I am from México. Por cierto ya me suscribe a tu canal

I'm Also from the US. I Love Watching these US,UK and Australian Words and Accent Comparisons. I hope you will do more videos with Grace and Lauren on this Channel.

In India, it's similar with the UK accent most of the time.

In the US I've heard care-uh-mell, care-mell, car-mull, cara-mle lol. I think no one knows how to pronounce it.

Oh hey there Christina

Yes! There's gonna be another video in the future. Love it!😁 You three are the best!

@@callowyellow yes! We just can’t get enough of each other 😝

Grace, I love your Aussie accent. It's so attractive. I also love your good vibes.

@@TheAaronsFamily I hope you make many more videos with the trio in the future as well. Best wishes🙂✨

@@brissyapra oh wow, thank you so much for the lovely compliment! My favourite Aussie accent is Cate Blanchett!

👏👏👏 From Seoul Korea 🇰🇷

Batmobile is the French way! probably

But we would say bat mobeel, whereas American say mobil.

​@QanunAlShah Actually in America, for the Bat Mobile we say it that same way as Bat Mo-beel, nobody says Bat Mo-buy-l

America is like Toozday

Nice one!

Canadian English is actually a mix of both American and British English plus unique Canadian words. So it’s not really a departure. Canada also uses “Organize” as opposed to “Organise”

A good explanation of how most words got different spellings and pronunciations between the US and UK, but alumin(i)um is a bit different... You might notice that the spelling and pronunciation are tied together in this case. The story is actually pretty interesting, but it's a bit of a wall o'text especially in a YT comment, so tl;dr: it's got a lot to do with scientists arguing about naming things, then the US and Canada both ended up familiar with a different spelling than the UK because of an ad campaign. Dictionaries are only involved because Noah Webster was an ass, but even he didn't actually succeed in standardizing the US spelling. It starts with Humphrey Davy, who tried to discover aluminum and was an amazing scientist but terrible at naming things. See scientists knew that aluminum must exist because of its missing spot on the periodic table, and many suspected that this stuff called "alum" in English, "alumine" in French, and "alumen" in Latin must be an aluminum salt, so they talked about it long before it was actually discovered. Anyway, Davy proposed "alumium" (a faux-Latin ending on the English word alum, which is all kinds of terrible) in 1808, then, after thorough criticism, suggested "aluminum" (Latin for "alum stuff," by way of tacking the Latin -um neuter ending onto "alumin-," which is the stem version of "alumen" that you'd add a suffix to) a few years later. This quickly caught on in the UK, but... Then someone suggested that "aluminium" had a more "classical sound." Don't ask me why, since "aluminium" is just the diminutive of "aluminum" in Latin. Anyway, apparently everyone agreed, including Davy, because everyone ended up calling it aluminium for a while. That changed for some reason after a Dutch chemist actually discovered it in 1825. Even though the entire (English-speaking) scientific community used -ium consistently, a few people used -um in casual conversation, on both sides of the pond, and a few years later Webster actually used the -um spelling in his dictionary _in spite of_ the wider use of -ium even in the US. That did the job of splitting the US about 50/50 between -ium and -um. (Slightly favoring -ium, actually.) Then in the 1890s, the first industrial-scale aluminum production company opened in the US, and they advertised using the -um spelling, pretty much forcing us to use the -um spelling; within five years, -ium was almost gone from the country. I'm not 100% certain about the UK, but I think they may have united behind -ium in support of their smaller-scale aluminium-producing chemists. (The scientific community used -ium exclusively, so were more constrained in their usage than industrialists.) There's speculation that the ad may have been a typo (the patents involved in the industrial process all used -ium), but there's evidence that the man behind both the patents and the ads thought that the -um ending evoked thoughts of platinum, making people willing to pay more, and he would have used the -ium ending as a matter of course for the science-based processes detailed in his patent applications. This also explains why Canada uses the US spelling when they use the UK spelling for most words where there's a difference: firstly, there's a pronunciation difference that goes with the spelling, and Canadian English is closer to US English than UK English; secondly, proximity exposed Canada to the sales and advertisements of American aluminum manufacturers, who had such a strong influence on the word.

@@tildessmoo And that, friends and colleagues, is how we do etymology.

Agree with that

Agree with that

I don't say "alloo-min-yum" or "alloo-min-um", I say: "alloh-min-i-um" (from Australia btw)

The British pronunciation and spelling is closer to the Latin's, which is where the word originated from. So I guess we know the right one.

Or even Al-you-mini-um

Nah, we have a lot of accent variation in the UK but "garridge" is extremely common. I'd associate the french-style "garahdj" (you know what I mean) with parts of the south, or posh people. From your description of her I wouldn't be surprised if she was the latter!

@@cactustactics God rest her soul! But yes, I think you're right. She was super-pedantic, but I always appreciated her corrections.

It doesn’t really nowadays.

Well it's a french word

@@danemon8423 Yeah but this is a weird one because then you would expect them to also say Salad and Savage that way but then they don't.

I say it the "british" way( I'm guessing you mean the French way), and I'm from the US. We speak many dialects of English in the US.

@@AhsokaTano36BBYNot everyone in the US speaks the same dialect of English.

@@AhsokaTano36BBY well savage in french is sauvage and salade is pronounced the same as in british english , at least by my english friends. But i see what you means.

Sounds like they should have put an _avertissement_ in the preface to the video.

as a Brit i have always wondered how Americans can be arsed to pronounce the R every time they see it. surely it's so effortful to say muRdeReR...muhderah is so much easier

I really expected this to be Christina's answer too. I was surprised when she pronounced it like UK and AUS do. I've hear other Americans on KZfaq say "cahh mul" for caramel.

I think majority of Spanish people in Spain would use British English as it’s closest English country would be is U.K. & Ireland compared to USA & Australia as they quite far away from Europe in landmass. I know some English usa words are creeping in to British English tho. That’s due to amount of tv shows & movies

I searched for this comment. I agree. It is a bit awkward for that.

Until this day, I didn't even know it had two different spellings. I always just wondered why people in US didn't read the 'i'... (from Australia)

@@SandCoffeeRocks Raised and schooled here (USA) and I don't recall it ever having the second "i". Was a member of the National Honor Society through my last 3 years in high school too, and I also scored really high in the SATs (Scholastic Aptitude Tests) plus did really well in College. It's no wonder why us Americans always left it out :-)

I agree Lauren has a Southern England accent, which is surprising since she is originally from Liverpool.

I’ve never heard someone say it the way grace did
