Actually, I want to say that ence or "C" is used not only in nouns but in adjectives also, but it isn't used in verbs!!! That's very neat. For me "S" is identified with verbs not Z. But it would have been nice to see usage of Z in some nouns and adjectives closely related to verbs with the sound z.
Thanks dear teacher. 🤗♥️ Very interesting to review those differences between British 🇬🇧 and American 🇺🇸 English. 😊👍 As an English teacher for 15 years in Vietnam 🇻🇳 , I still need to practice the words I never use. 😆
Max, you're amazing. You are such an original thinker. Of you, people are bound to say "The lady does bear a brain". But to tell you what I really think of you, I cannot do any better than to refer you to the lyrics of a very old song composed and written by Cole Porter. The title of the song is "You Are The Top" '.Try to secure a listening to Ella Fitzgerald's 1956 rendition of this humorously witty classic.
Great! Very interesting lesson. Thank you so much, Since I am a native Italian speaker, I think that American spelling is better because it brings the pronunciation of words closer to how they are written, like in Italian. In fact, the English language is a beautiful language, but compared to Italian you have to know two things for each word: how to write it and how to pronounce it. While in Italian if someone hears a word they don't know, they already know how to write it, and so they can look it up in the dictionary. This is more difficult in the English language.
Hello Max. What a complicated story. But it's good that someone explains something about it. Thank you for that. Now for a foreign speaker it is probably more logical to understand and learn American English. To me that makes more sense. But here in Germany we are taught British English. Although it's probably pretty mixed now. The American influence is already noticeable. We in Germany also have various differences with our neighboring countries Switzerland and Austria. But it's more about completely different words. for example Kartoffel - Erdapfel, Blumenkohl - Karfiol, Tomate - Paradeiser, etc. Language just develops. Many kind regards from Germany. Thomas Now I can start my holiday😂😂😂
our vs or - I've chosen British. American is more inconsistent - sometimes it uses "o" sometimes "ou". re vs er - I am used to American "er" because I've started with an American, but now I use re and quite happy about that. s vs z - z is kind of better... But I do not think we should look for a sense in English. S works for me. ence vs ense: ence is a noun, no need to guess. At least it had been helping me a lot. Pretty useless letters make sense - they remind us that the language has a direct connection with reality.
The American spellings are aberrant from the logic behind 11:27 spellings or in other words I can say the Americans have failed to understand the concept of spellings. We should not refer those logic and concepts to British English. In the context of pronunciation, there is ambiguity throughout the Oxford Dictionary. One day I will come to America to highlight all the concept behind English words. Thanks to that man who laid down the so beautifully logical concept of English words. Gage will be pronounced as geg while gauge is the correct word.
Interesting, I knew of some of the differences, I agree with you that American spelling looks more consistent and simpler, but being Australian like you I learned British spelling in school. I noticed from your video that I’ve changed from programme to program. Licence is also a word I’ve always had issues with 🤣 Have a great day and thanks 😊
Thanks, Peter! Yes, I believe "program" is actually one of those words where we Australians use the American form. I also often have doubts when it comes to "licence/license". And re the piece of paper that we need to legally be allowed to drive... is it driving, drivers', driver's... ? Such a can of worms 😄.
Hello. Thanks for this espectacular video❤. It's very interesting and useful to revise some confusing words. I am accustomed to British spelling so some words are tricky for me!🌹
Oh. I remember! The only thing that I really like about American spelling is a vowel "i" at the beginning of some nouns. I like it because it shows right off the bat that I should not expect that it can be a verb (the same as with CE VS SE at the end). PS: but there are verbs that starts with i.... huh... anyway this American "i" is not so bad.
@@EnglishwithMax Sure. enquiry and inquiry. I do not remember anything else at the moment, but I am sure I've come across of quite a few of these... yeah it is kind of a mistake I make often: i write those nouns with "i". My dictionary says the letter i in these words is used in British also, but it's rare. I think I have about 6-8 words of the kind in my anki. (or maybe more) (I've got it from Oxford Advanced Leaners Dictionary...)
I thought that Metre is the unit of length, e.g. 4 metre And Meter is a part of any counting measuring device, e.g. electricity meter, road driven mwter in cars and bikes ...

Hello! I'd say I speak three foreign languages (French, German and Spanish), but they're all getting rusty. And I know some basic Indonesian, Italian and Portuguese. I started learning some Mandarin last year, but I've been very inconsistent, so I think my progress will be slow ;-).
@@fabriziomorris5320 No, they don't say that, they have left-hand traffic and right-hand drive cars. Just as we have right-hand traffic and left-hand drive cars.
lol , good job. not very often you show up with a new video. it would be on acount of tomorrow you could see in the sky "leonidas'shooting stars.

Many thanks!
I pay you my compliments dear teacher...I love you ❤.
You're very kind!
Thank so much! As always this is an excellent explanation!❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love Australia, I have been in Sydney in 2014 it was amazing! Lucky you!😊

Thank you! 😃
And I couldn't help but notice that you use the US spelling of "practice". That's also a bit of a strange word spelling-wise :).

Oh wow, I'd heard "Erdapfel" before (great word :)), but not Karfiol or Paradeiser. Interesting!
Have a nice holiday!

Cognizant vs cognisant
I thought that
Metre is the unit of length, e.g. 4 metre
And
Meter is a part of any counting measuring device, e.g. electricity meter, road driven mwter in cars and bikes ...
Very good point.
That's the case in British spelling.
In American spelling "meter" is used for both meanings.
Thnkyou Max
Not sure about gauge Vs gage
Well, apparently "gauge" is also used in American spelling.

Hello Max! May I ask how many languages do you speak now, Max?
Hello! I'd say I speak three foreign languages (French, German and Spanish), but they're all getting rusty. And I know some basic Indonesian, Italian and Portuguese. I started learning some Mandarin last year, but I've been very inconsistent, so I think my progress will be slow ;-).
The one that drives me crazy is when the British say carbretta instead of carburetor. Carbretta is not even close, not even a little.
You'er the baest teachre!
What do you expect from people who drive on the wrong side of the Road? 😂😂😂
😂
Are you referring to the Silk Road, einstein? 😊
Ironically, they say they drive on the right side of the road when it's actually the left
@@fabriziomorris5320 No, they don't say that, they have left-hand traffic and right-hand drive cars. Just as we have right-hand traffic and left-hand drive cars.
@@zsb707 it was a play on words (right=right-hand but also, right=correct) that you totally missed
Grazie
Prego!
Long time, no see
It's nice to be back :).
@@EnglishwithMax where have you been
I've been doing some other work recently. But all is well!
I'm not hungry I'm Hungarian ;-)
But sometimes you're a hungry Hungarian though 😊

Not sometimes but every single day. I'm on intermittent fasting diet. :-)

I'm really going to try to show up more often! Thank you for watching :).
So why Americans do not write hor instead of hour?
Haha, interesting point :D.
@@EnglishwithMax and how about yor, or, thoght, thogh, broght instead of your, our, thought, though, brought? They are not consistent.
Well, the rule only seems to apply when the -our/-or is a schwa or "er" sound.
Great.
Thank you. I t was really helpfull... But on the other hand in my English British book they use "realiZe" ;)
Yes, I've seen things like that too. It confuses me :D.
Oxford dictionary prefers Z which is kinda weird. It's a whole confusion
