Who is Lazier?
We all know that there are some differences between American English and the British English, some say that American English is easier because they are lazy! 😀Things like they forget you (u) in color, or they pick the easy words like "eggplant" instead of Aubergine 🤔. Here are some examples, see what you think? American / British Pants / Trousers Flashlight / Torch Sidewalk / Pavement Dreamed / Dreamt Eye glasses / Glasses Learned / Learnt Sweater / Jumper Elevator / Lift Cookies / Biscuits Gasoline / Petrol plow / plough Apartment / Flat But it doesn't stop there! It's grammar too! American / British "I just ate" / "I've just eaten" "on the weekend" / "at the weekend" "I lost my keys" / "I've lost my keys" "We don't need to hurry" / "We needn't hurry" "Have you got a problem" / "Do you have a problem" "My sister is still in the hospital" / "My sister is still in hospital" So who do you think is the laziest or easiest English? 🤭😀😆😂🤣🤣
@Evelyne Vincent Don't mention anything about the phonetic symbols! 🤣

@Evelyne Vincent I know all about the history of English and the great vowel (not bowel) change in the 15 century. 😂
The Wicked Wife!
The wife joined a speaking group on WeChat (weixin) to see what they think of her English, she asked them to correct her pronunciation if she is wrong. The group leader said that she pronounced the word "pronunciation" wrong (😆😆🤣🤣), her pronunciation is correct to the British way. When they seen my face on the camera, they kicked her out of the group. Obviously the group leader doesn't like a British accent, i was very tempted to join the group but that would have been causing trouble. Thing is, how do you know what they are saying is right? How can you be sure they are really a native, or a good teacher? Obviously, with Shane, he is all over the internet and you can't mistake his accent 😄. Is there a sure way of knowing a right one?
@Evelyne Vincent It's good practice
@Sergo Lonkin If you practice enough with PIRF, you will start to understand most of the English. It won't matter too much on who is speaking it, as you will understand it.
I know what he means!
This man was always in trouble for doing things, but was well liked by millions. But was he right? 👍😆🤣
I know what he means!
@Evelyne Vincent Yes, i couldn't find the tick above the "é"🤭(lazy)🤣
@Shane Peterson An i thought you were keeping us quiet! 🤣🤣🤣
A very rare sight.
Today i missed my stop on the subway, but i didn't worry as i got off at the next stop. Waiting by the doors, i noticed there was no one else waiting! I looked up at the display to see when the next train would arrive (normally 2 or 3 minutes), i got a shock and decided to take the bicycle to work! This was the first time i have ever seen the waiting tile so long, lucky i didn't have too far to ride and i still had enough time.
A very rare sight.
@Shane Peterson Rentals are cheap because there are so many and used so much, as you have seen in another post that the rentals litter the streets making it impossible to walk on the pavements (sidewalks(for those who don't know where to walk 🤣)). I used to have my own to begin with but the summers here are just too hot and you end up being very wet when you go anywhere.
