"Biweekly" to me sounds more like "twice a week" than "every second week". I've also heard that it can mean both, which would *really* mean one or the other needs a new term, so adapting "fortnightly" would be useful for that.

Similar with spanish also. Most languages have nuances depending where it's spoken.

Not just people learning English. Live in one part of the UK and go to another part and it will be difficult to understand what is being said.

I am learning Spanish through an app, and I thought some of the words seemed odd. Found out they are using Latin American pronunciation not European Spanish (or the Canarian I know better)

How do so many Americans not know or use this word!!!!???? It's been so common for me here for my entire life across so many contexts and different places I've lived!!! I am baffled that there are towns/regions/generations of America that don't use it.

@@GoodNewsEveryone2999 First, I do live in North America. English Canadians do not use the word "queue" for a physical line-up. Then again, we don't always know how to line up. We also don't use "reckon" as in "I reckon that I don't know what reckon means."

The only baby buggy/carriages I see nowadays are for dolls not children

Fortnight originates from Old English. Meaning Fourteen nights, as Anglo Saxons counted nights. Pavement comes from Paving Slab. As that is what most of them were made of. A lot still are especially in towns and Citys. Tarmac (Tarmacadam) was invented and patented in Wales in 1902. Used for surfacing roads. As a dust free improvement on Macadam. Now superseded by Asphalt but the name has stuck.

I love how the way queue is spelled in IPA is literally how we spell it in Danish: Kø. Means the same as in English, though. Pronounced [kʰøːʔ]

In America we say it just like you're saying our letter "Q" and it means... I actually can't define it without looking it up because it's sort of just such a foundational word, not line.... like a line is a type of Queue.... like a waiting order/list/line...I know she was unfamiliar with it in the video but it is super common in at least some parts of the US, I would use it for ALL phone or internet waits and it's not as common for physical lines but it's not unheard of- I even worked at jobs in the US where when we were working the "waiting line" they would call it the queue and that would be on your daily schedule that you were working the queue and anyone would know what you meant. nd if you want someone to put something on their agenda/to-do list you could say "put it in the queue". For me it's so common that it's hard to really call it anything else and all other words/terms sound weird. I have, however, had to explain it to some people and it seems like there are some parts of America where they don't use it and I've also never had to explain it to anyone over 30, so maybe just younger people don't use it as much here - although I don't know what they say instead and just remembered all copiers and printers list print jobs in a queue so if you work in an office I would think you use it a lot.... also, I'm from the South and we do say it in the South... but the South is huge so I guess not everywhere.

I love how much the English pronunciation of French words bothers you. The French have a very low threshold for being annoyed, it seems.

Surprised her accent is unfamiliar to you. The Liverpool accent was made quite famous by The Beatles. But I guess as the decades go by the more likely it is someone hasn't heard them speak before.

We also often use bitumen as opposed to tarmac or asphalt; city, city centre or CBD.

Same in Ireland! I've always seen the "sidewalk" vs "pavement" thing and I'll be like "I don't agree with the US or UK" because we say "footpath" in Ireland. You're the first person I've seen who we share this word with! Ireland and Australia sharing a common term that is neither the American English or the British English word, is cool though! :3

And usually in certain regions like the NYC metro area

True. If it’s prepared another way then Americans typically just say tuna. I’ve heard people say tuna steaks. I think we say tuna fish to emphasize the fish because when it’s mixed with mayonnaise it can look similar to chicken or turkey salad. I have accidentally bought tuna fish at the deli before and had to toss it when I got home because I don’t eat that stuff.

There's also tuna fruit, which is the fruit of the nopal cactus. The words are unrelated.

Yeah, I'm from the US and have traveled a lot here and City Center/Centre is usually a building or complex located in a part of the city we call downtown.

We Americans use both quarter and fourth. Except we only use quarter when referring to time. Quarter past or quarter till/to.

@@anndeecosita3586 We do for time too but for many countries it sounds weird when you hear "three fourths of people prefer..." or "one fourth of cats have yellow eyes" ...just those terms sound strange to my ears and to be honest it baffles me as to why people in the US don't use quarter for these terms. Especially since you have a 25 cent coin and the imperial system has quarts (quarters) as a measurement.

@@stevenbalekic5683 we in the US definitely use both ways that you described. 1/4th or 3/4ths, like Cady stated in the video, are part of those very literal terms we use in the US. But like the other commenter said, we use the other terms as well.

@@fsujavi16 Okay, I just never heard someone from the US say one quarter, two quarters etc...or even use the term fortnight. Just one fourths, two fourths etc and every two weeks or every other week

@@stevenbalekic5683 We use "fourth" when talking mathematics/stats/probabilities, and "quarter" in more colloquial usages like telling time. As to why we say it that way, you'd have to ask people who are long dead. We just follow earlier usage, just like you do.

Well for me when I hear “horseback riding” it brings to mind certain kinds of activity involving a horse. More like the tame kind and typically with few people involved. My family owns horses and if it’s just me and cousin I’d say we went horseback riding. But my relatives also participates in trail rides and rodeos. Yes they are riding horses but I don’t call that horseback riding. Like if someone is a wrangler I would say they were out wrangling horses not oh he’s out horseback riding. But that’s me.

@@anndeecosita3586 I mean, that makes sense, but I guess it's because you've got experience with horses. I've never even tried riding a horse, but when I heard "horseback riding" it sounded like a way to differentiate different styles of riding like "horsehead" riding or "horseneck" riding which of course don't exist.

@@J.o.s.h.u.a. lol so true. You should try it. It’s fun but I warn your inner thighs will likely be sore when you’re not used to it. Also make sure the horse is tame and people friendly.

Bravo

That's the same in Ireland. We can say "I'm going down town", but we mean going down, to the town. We couldn't say "I'm in/at downtown" because it's not the name of a place. But if we were on the phone to someone and they asked where we were, we could say "Oh, I'm just downtown at the moment", because we are, relative to the person we're speaking to. We sometimes insert "the", such as "I'm down the town", or "I'm going to go up the town".

In my speculation, a down town is like an area where will be in flood | Пусть наш Бог хранит Үкраїну.

@@xohyuu ‘Americans’ in terms of the nationality. American is a demonym which can only be applied to natives of the United States of America. If I meant anything else I would have said ‘North Americans’ or ‘South Americans’ to reference the status of the collective people on each of the continents in the western hemisphere.

I guess? It's a very subtle nuance in terms of formality though. "Queue" is just the verb and noun; "queue up" is the phrasal verb, which I think is more commonly used. E.g. "Many people are queueing up for tickets." "They had to queue for three hours."

I think she was just saying the formation of people is "a queue" and they are "queuing up" as a verb, thinking that's also an expression in the US but apparently it's not.

Queue up is a verb. Like “ can you queue up!?” Like how you use line up

Downtown is the center of town or most dense part of town that is close to the center, midtown is a designated area outside that, it can be a loop around downtown or just a specific neighborhood not the whole loop (depends on the city) and uptown is geographically past midtown and the poshy area... so it's about both distance AND economic class when you say uptown.

In Italian we’d say both ways: “fare la coda”(to queue up), “fare la fila” (wait/stand in line)

I no longer live in the South but when I did because of the nature of my job and that I play music, I traveled around a good bit between states. For example I’d say New Orleans is a large city and I’ve definitely heard buggy used there. They also say “making groceries”which is what my family from AL/MS say too. Plus I think it can also come down to whether most of the people you surround yourself with are locals or transplants. I used to go to Nashville a lot but almost everyone I knew there was from somewhere else.
