Things that Americans & Canadians say better than the British

[heatmeiser]

sounds like someone's been watching too much Dempsey and Makepeace.

Americans mention one outstanding Soccer result in their history about six times a year while the English make a reference to it every time Johhny Vegas orders a happy meal from Burger King.

actually, should leave this now before I get accused of xenophobia. :blink:

I've got a very good friend fom Brooklyn and she says 'Cawfee' all the time. I make her say it over and over again just to cheer me up.

No idea what your second paragraph is on about to be fair.

Whilst when while will do. A total Brit thing. While, btw is the older form.

Funny, a friend of mine from Manchester was teasing me about the "Cash for Clunkers" automobile deal in the states. There was one, he said, in England that was more formal. I can not remember what he said, but "Cash for Clunkers" was better.

Three pages w/o getting to the fooking vs the fukin. We should all be ashamed of ourselves.

Not related to pronunciation, but Brits get way more mileage out of the word "piss" than we do.
