In today’s class, we’re exploring the differences between UK and US English.
While many words are shared between the two, some are completely different!
For instance, what Brits call a “flat,“ Americans refer to as an “apartment.“
In the UK, we take out the “rubbish,“ while in the US, it’s “garbage.“
Take, for example, the word “pants.“ In the UK, “pants“ refers to undergarments worn beneath trousers. However, in the US, “pants“ are what Brits would call “trousers.“ This difference can cause some amusing misunderstandings when Brits and Americans chat about clothing! It’s just one of the many examples where a shared language can still lead to some funny situations.
We’ll also touch on how American term like “fries“ have crept into British vocabulary due to cultural influence.
In the UK, when you need to leave your car somewhere, you look for a “car park.“ The term is straightforward—it’s a designated area for parking cars. In contrast, Americans use the term “parking lot.“ While it might sound a bit unusual to those accustomed to British English, it’s simply the American way of referring to a large open area where cars are parked.
