What are some words you feel sound more right in both the American and British English?
I use a mix of the two depending on the word.
For example, I stand by pronouncing words like “Amazon” with an “ehn” sound at the end ovet an “ohn” sound, prefer spelling colour and flavour with a u, and also like using double Ls for words like travelling. Also, it is “grey”. (British English)
However, I pronounce Z as “zee”and call them fries rather than chips.
There are also spellings where I sort of alternate between depending on my mood, such as “meter” vs “metre”and“airplane” vs “aeroplane”
Are there any words that you think sound better in British and American spellings/pronunciations?
Herbs, because there’s a frikking h in it.
Thanks Eddie Izzard for her skit, that still stuck with me.
Is that the one about the monkey in the tree? I remember absolutely cracking up at that.
Possible. It’s been years since I watched the show on YouTube.
Great Britain is a stone’s throw from France but their use of French loan words is attrocious.
