      Hi Liam. We used the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary as our guide for this video. What we've learned, however, is that there are many variations of the phrases and words we've used depending on region, nationality and other factors. Thanks for writing to us and thanks for watching our video.

    It's so interesting to see the differences in vocabulary between American end British accents. It makes me realize that it happens the same in Spanish as there are a lot of countries speaking the same language and adding their own twist to it. For example, we call the avocado "palta," but in the rest o Latin American countries it's usually called "aguacate."

      Exactly Eduardo. Well put. In fact, there are linguists like David Crystal who believe there are many Englishes, as he puts it. Here's a video you might find interesting. th-cam.com/video/2_q9b9YqGRY/w-d-xo.html

    I love your videos. Very interesting. The ones that drive me crazy are when people pronounce these sets exactly alike: bean /been, parts / pots, are / our. But, what drives me even more crazy is when I hear someone call the planets Saturn, Earth and Mars Satin, Euth and Mauze. But the biggest one, as mentioned, Americans no longer know that "are" should not sound like "our", and they no longer know the difference between the meaning of "then" and "than". I know your husband will enjoy my list too. He is blessed to be able to hear you all day. I love listening to you.

      Bean and been sound the same in British English, as do our and are (depending where you live in the country, for some our and hour sound the same ) parts and pots have different vowel sounds. As do then and than.

      Hi Cowboy Geologist. This is Jay (Vicki's American husband) writing back to you. Yes, I often have to query the exact meaning of a particular word where Vicki doesn't pronounce the 'r'. We have a couple of videos that might interest you and J Ailor who also commented here. This one is about the pronunciation of "R" th-cam.com/video/hWjcoajXRVg/w-d-xo.html. And this is about a subtle difference in the 'o' sound in words like 'lot' and 'not' th-cam.com/video/kkSBXBSOyoc/w-d-xo.html. Thanks to both of you for writing about this subject.

    Super Agent Awesome can be forgiven because of his age, but the ZIP in ZIP code is an acronym from Zone Improvement Plan. The US Postal Service (then the US Post Office) mapped out the U.S. into a system of mail delivery areas in the early 1960s to help with sorting the mail. I was only a grade schooler but I remember having to recite it one day to my home room teacher for the school’s records.

    2. Cradle😅
    3. Baby Clothes😅
    4. Rowing Boat
    5. Skipping Rope
    6. Catapult
    7. Biscuits
    8. Gas Stove
    9. Cinema Hall
    10. Suspenders
    11. Braces(only for teeth)
    12. Dustbins
    13. Waste Collectors
    14. We use both Toffee and Candy
    15. Maths
    16. Ticks
    17. Beetroot
    18. Herbs(with the h sound)
    19. Oregano(the British way)
    20. Just Shoes(1st one being formal and the 2nd one being slide-in shoes)😅
    21. Postbox
    22. Pincode😅
    I hope Indian english does not get hate as much anymore.

    Hi, VIcki and Super Agent Awesome! I like that "takeaway" word, but I will feel uncomfortable next time I buy a takeaway :D I wanted to ask where Jay is, but first read the comments :D

    In New York we call them Garbage men or Sanitation men San men for short

    • @SimpleEnglishVideos
      @SimpleEnglishVideos  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Kilo. This is Jay writing back to you. I grew up in New York, and that's right, we used to call them Garbage Men. But that became politically incorrect. Sanitation Workers is the politically correct term now. Also, there's an interesting difference between New York City and most of the rest of the country. In the rest of the country there's a distinct difference between 'garbage' and 'trash.' Garbage in most of America, is organic. So it might be banana peels or left over vegetables you're throwing away. And in much of the country people have 'garbage disposals' in their kitchen sinks. Banana peels, left over vegetables and other organic materials are put down the kitchen sink drain to be ground up by the powerful garbage disposal blades and then sent into the community sewer system. In other places, where there are no garbage disposals, people would put organic waste into a mound of dirt on their property, and over time it becomes a useful fertilizer for your garden plants. In those places where garbage and trash have separate meanings, it is "Trash Collectors" who come in trucks to empty the trash cans you leave outside for them. :-) But whether you call them 'dustmen', 'trash collectors' or garbage men it is a tough job and we're grateful they do it.
