This more people from the US telling people from the UK that thier English is incorrect even though the English language originated from the UK just a mad thought there.🤔
Many of the American English words are older British English words that the British abandon when the noticed Americans adopted them. Also, American words tend to be more descriptive because of immigrant heavy history of non-English people coming to the US. Overall, there is nothing wrong seeing how things evolve in different countries. For example, people speak Spanish differently in different countries. Language changes based on how people use it.
@OI-rs1bf Cool so answer this who invited the English language. It doesn't matter what words are not used as much now who invented the fecking language it's that simple.
@@DRK1785 English is a derivative of Germanic, latin, French, and Norse languages. It is natural for language to evolve especially if it separated from distance and culture. The US became independent from the UK more than 200 years ago. The differences in languages is expected. Also, words from other English speaking populations (e.g India, Australia, USA) have adopted by the UK. There are some words that have adopted from other languages. For example, the word puma is a Mexican word. American pronounce it closer to the Mexican pronunciation than the British pronunciation because it shares a border with Mexico and the animal's natural habitat includes part of the US, so it was pronounced that way in the US even before English was widespread in that part of the US. The evolution of language is fluid.

Bonnet of a car Bonnet on a baby Hood of a car Hood on your jacket, both have other meanings Also your friend represents london, not Britain, or even england for that matter
Im british but i think it is pacifier because to pacify means to stop or put an end to anger, excitement, agitation, etc. And the prefix 'er' can be used to form nouns in words like readER bakER and "pacifiER". Hope that helps😊
So funny how the brits have claimed nyash. I guess that’s what having bigger social capital does but nyash/yansh (however you want to spell it) is straight Nigerian. A lot of UK slang are from West Africa (mostly Nigeria), the Caribbean (mostly Jamaica), and quite recently, Arabic (mostly Somalia).
Pacifier makes all the sense in the world. We just didn’t grow up calling it that, and still don’t. It’s a difference but it’s not wrong. Also sidewalk and pavement both make a lot of sense. The bonnet one is something I have to investigate where it originates. But I accept both. These days it’s what the young and some older woman walk out the house with that I side eye.😂
