In today's video, I look at the many words that Americans and British people inexplicably say differently, like tomato for example - or garage. Then there are the Scottish words like loch and sassenach.

Love accents, especially Scottish . Think Scottish people as with other countries should keep them. It's part of history. How boring if we all sounded a like.

As an American who's recently learned Scottish, I must urge you as strongly as possible to resist our pronunciations and continue to use your own.

In America, an Herb (erb) is a plant you make tea out of, put in food, or smoke. Herb (herb) is a man's name, short for Herbert.

Water is pronounced differently all over the country. Depends on where you live.

I LOVE how you say "Great" <3

I love hearing the Scottish words “bonny” for beautiful & “wee” for little/small. I’m so proud of my Scottish heritage & I absolutely love watching your videos! Always learn a lot!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿♥️✨

In Kentucky, we say tomato as 'tah-MAY-duh, ' or if you're a bit more rural, 'duh-MAY-der, ' or even shorten it to just 'MAY-der.'
Language is so fascinating 😊

How about “Captain, I’m given ‘er all she’s got!”

We're American working in Glasgow. (It's been fun learning that "language") I love the way y'all pronounce everything, but my favourite thing about Scots is how you use so few words to express yourselves. I think your accents lend themselves to being more emphatic so you don't need filler words. Also, Scots are the kings and queens of sharp wit and sarcasm and I absolutely love it!

"Vitamins" is a marketing portmanteau, comprised of "Vital Minerals"

When I was a youngster in Texas we'd visit family in B.C. Canada and my cousins buddies were always trying to get me to talk.
The Canadian girls loved my accent much to the dismay of the dudes.

In Philly we say "wooder" for H2O. So many different American accents.

Digging the Houston shirt. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’m a few miles outside Houston.

I could hear a Scottish man say “garage” to me all day, LOL. I love the “ra” sound.

[PockASqueeno]

Some Americans say “et” instead of “ate, ” but it’s more of an old fashioned thing. My late grandmother from Texas always said it that way, and I always teased her for it. 😊

[meloneyparker]

I just want to hear a Scotsman say "If it's not Scottish it's crap".

[lindseystraley]

"Et"- In the Appalachian region, we say that a lot. I guess it's one of the many things we still haven't lost from our Scots-Irish ancestors.

Thanks for the content! I will definately have to visit Scotland someday and explore some of my own ancestry

[heatherdeavalon]

Good to see you today. Thanks for the funny words!

I have heard that most of the younger people in continental europe learn to speak english like Americans because of tv when in the past England was the biggest influence
