A-HA, so the British, that is bsome/b British, do deviate from the correct and proper pronunciation of kilometer, which is bKIL-o-meter/b The accent in metric measurements must be on the first syllable, and you can check this with the BBC, who always say KIL-o-meter Comment from : Greg Slivkoff |

I grew up in Sweden with a Brittish father but as a 19 year old I spent a year in Canada After returning I went travelling in the UK with a Brittish friend We were camping and I told him I was looking forward to a shower and some clean clothes as I hadn't changed my pants in a week He went very silent Luckily I remembered my mistake and could point out I meant my jeans (not my underwear) A year in Canada had changed my vocabulary, as they all laughed at me putting on 'trousers' and thought I went out to collect a wooden pole when I said I'd go get the post Comment from : Erikka Chapman |

I grew up in the province of Ontario in Canada where we called electricity "hydro" and the electrical bill the "hydro bill" but outside of Ontario people do not use this term and most commonly call it electricity 😆 In Ontario, it is still commonly referred to as hydro even though nuclear and natural gas produce the majority of electricity Likewise, a 24 (of beer) is very much an Ontario thing and other provinces do not use this but instead call it a case or flat Comment from : Matt Reed |
 |
I was told by an English friend that they called Freezies "Calippos" so I was surprised when Lucy didn't offer that up! I think the reason they're called "Freezies" here is that a popular brand in Canada was called "Mr FREEZE"brAlso, here on the West coast of Canada, we also use the terms bachelor and bachelorette party, but I've also heard them called "stags" as well, for either genderbrI've never referred to a parkade as a parking garage, and I'm not sure it would necessarily occur to me that a "parking garage" was for more than one or two cars without context Sometimes it's called "underground parking" when it's undergroundbrWhile "chesterfield" has fallen out of use to describe a (usually particularly large) sofa, sometimes you'll still hear someone call one that folds out into a bed a "chesterbed", but even that is being overtaken by sofabedbrUsing K as short for kilometers is common in Canada too I originally thought "clicks" was just for speed, km/hr, ("I was only going 50 clicks") because that's how I first heard it used, but I've since heard it for both speed and distancebr"Soft drink" is another common alternative for "pop" in Canada Comment from : Chris Johnston |
 |
Down south the soda is called a Coke When the waitress asks what do you want to drink I would say I want a Coke She'd say what kind? I'd say, a Sprite Comment from : Dashawn Marquess |

When I was growing up in the American Pacific Northwest, my family called a sofa a "Davenport" brThat term apparently came from a sofa company in Davenport, Massachusetts, which is interesting since neither of my parents came from New England Comment from : Richard Schatz |

Ham radio ops call the letter Z " Zed" because it's too easy to confuse the letter Z with the letter C over the air Comment from : Joe Blow |
 |
“Eh” is used as a question to specifically prompt an agreement Comment from : Brian Eustace |
 |
Enjoyed watching, but gotta say that Bob's version of Canadian English is skewed towards central/eastern Canada I've never heard anyone out west refer to electricty as hydro, for example Comment from : LM |
 |
Great video The bird on our one dollar coin is a “loon” - not a loonie 😊 Comment from : Vanessa |
 |

 |
Speaking of soda, if you go to Texas, they call all sodas a coke So if you order a coke, youll be asked what kind Comment from : Mandy Chapin |
 |
I am a Canadian by birth but think in the old days, and maybe still today, older Americans called the couch a davenport as well (perhaps only specific types of couches or specific classes of people) I moved to the States and I noticed differences in terms of products/companies At home I would use Javex in my laundryin the US it is Chlorox (or bleach) Both seem to use Kleenex for tissues names for government representatives (president, senator/congress person versus prime minister, mp - member of parliament, mla - member of the legislative assembly) Comment from : Campbell McDermid |
 |
Found this interestingI'm Canadian, I find we have more similarities with American English, we live so close and share a continent Senior Trudeau was in the habit a making us speak European, but thankfully it didn't work I live in SW Ontario, not sure where Bob is from guessing Eastern Canada, I say soda, Zee, sneakersnever hear "aboot"have no idea what that meansand say huh more than eh Bob has to be from Nova Scotia, or Newfoundland So like US , Canada us a big country, lots of localisms, Bob reps only a part of Eastern Canadaeven Eastern Ontario definitely not a southerner Comment from : CommonSenseRevolution X |
 |
Nobody says 'aboot', and at least Canadians know how to pronounce the letter "T" and don't stick "R" sounds in weird-ass places Comment from : WREFMAN |
|
|
