If you already have the word "road" for where the vehicles go, why would you then choose to call that "pavement" then have to make up a new word "sidewalk" for the safe space for pedestrians? Makes no sense! The "pavement" in the UK is "paved" with concrete "paving slabs", so why would you call it anything else?

Maybe Brits are just far more intelligent! We can tell the difference between glasses for drinks and glasses you wear so don't need to come up with ludicrous ways to make sure they are differentiated
Correct, pavements used to be made from large concrete paving slabs or cobblestones. It is now made from tarmac or ulticolour tarmac. At least with the tarmac you don't catch your feet on the uneven slabs. Or worse, sink in to it with water sloshing all over your shoes when it rains.

Pavement is not asphalt. The act of paving is to put slabs of stone/ concrete in place, hopefully level to create a walk way or path. (take heed local council). Roads, at least most of them In the UK, are not paved. Tarmac or Asphalt is a hot substance that is spread and left to cool as I'm sure you are aware.
@@EaterOfBaconSandwiches sorry in all terms to pave is to use slabs. tarmac is not a solid until it is cooled and you don’t apply tarmac in slabs.Doesn’t matter about alternative terms.
In Proper English (PE) we call the footway (a legal term for the footpath at the side of a road) a pavement because it is, or historically was, paved - i.e. covered in small elements, not a uniform surface. A road that is paved would be covered in cobbles, setts, or concrete paving slabs. An example is Belgian Pavé. This terminology was adopted by geologists for limestone pavement (e.g. at Malham Cove) which looks as though it has been paved. In PE we call the road the road. We rather like the simplicity of that. We distinguish unmade roads and stone/mineral-covered roads by referring to the latter as "metalled", from the Greek "Metallon", or quarry - where the stone comes from. What Merkins call "Asphalt" we call "Tarmac", because we invented the substance, and the language. It also helps when you go the builders' merchant and say "I'd like my tarmac", because "I'd like my asphalt" might have unfortunate results. Concerning glasses (which we also call spectacles/specs) - this is an example of the default position. Glasses in this context mean prescription ones. Any other (sun, safety) requires an adjective, or further description. We do the same with places, so Paris does not need "France" after it, because that's where Paris is. Any other Paris needs clarification, but not the real one. In the same way we do not need to say Proper English, just English - there is only one proper one. Any other version needs an adjective, such as "A Merkin English".

Watch The Graham Norton show best moments, there are so many compilations, pick any one they are all great or maybe you could do a series where you watch 1 video a week. And the best thing is is not just comedians. Also Graham Norton Red Chair moments are great too.
This is hilarious because one of the Americans I’ve lived with did not understand the term "half nine" for 9:30. You had to always say "half past nine" so he would understand. Otherwise he would think it's either 8:30 or 9:30 xD

“It’s a famous boyband from Britain” Niall’s Irish, Ireland isn’t part of the U.K. let alone Britain.

If I've been watching content by other people & then watch 1 of your vids, I have to turn the volume up to be able to hear the clip properly, but then when either of you two go to speak it's too loud.
I find this a lot on these reaction channels. You can barely hear the sound from the clip being shown and get your ears blown off by the commentator when they speak because you turned the volume up

Love Micheal Mcintyre, I read his biography at one stage and its sad to see others comedians attitudes towards him, not everyone but many comedians thought his humour was too "safe" and too easy and looked down on him when he starred to shoot up in fame.
So funny 😆 our pavements in England are different from the road...they are made of paving stones or slabs, not tarmac or concrete...hence they are called pavements. 🤣🤣
Michael McIntyre is one of my favourite comedians mostly because he can switch accents so quickly. A couple of my favourite clips of him are 'Revolving Doors' especially at the end where he imitates Colin and Justin, two gay Scottish interior designers, and others include him imitating a Liverpudlian football fan one minute and then switches to imitating a gay Mancunian plus his take on comparing rugby referees to football ones is just as funny.
I'm 42 so I feel I've definitely grown a little wiser in regard to my **ahem** hostility to American English. I used to be a little anal about what I still hear some call 'the bastardization' of English. I've come to realize though that in many cases, it's us that changed and not you guys, and even in cases where you have changed it, it often makes far more sense! So I wouldn't be too hard on yourselves if I were you, just politely smile at any pedants and shrug them off. Having said that though, I don't think I'll ever tolerate the obligatory 'like' that some (especially West Coasters) inject into their speech every 4/5 words, or the nonsensical way in which many Americans omit the _'nt_ from _could'nt care less!_
Try watching Michael McIntyre, “Send To All” There are lots to choose from… for your first pic, I’d go with a celebrity victim that you have already heard of… After one or two more celebs you can then react to Michael being interviewed by James Cordon, where they both play ‘SEND TO ALL’… It’s brilliant…x
No in the UK they do not shorten things. Keep in mind the US is still a brand new country by comparison. Julius Cesar visited the UK, so it was inhabited at least at his time, meaning at least for nearly 2 millenia. The language got exported to the US, so you guys lengthened things, if we go technical on the subject. Lets be honest here.
Micheal Mcintyre does a show here and part of it he takes a celebrties phone and send s a weird text to evryone of their contacts. The results of the replys are hysterical, How ever the best one was when James Cordon turned the table and they did it from Micheals own phone. Micheal got his own back by sending the same message from james's phone. I have watched it a few times and cry with laughter everytime. Link below th-cam.com/video/v4UHRrqOHs8/w-d-xo.html
Try Michael McIntryre and his "Send to All" conversations. It's with a lot of Briish people who you will never have heard of, but that doesn't matter. They are still very funny. Also the one where he steals a woman's meals from her freezer and serves it back to her as a 5-star gourmet meal. Basically, he is a very funny, non-offensive, not cruel comedian.
In Australia the 'sidewalk' is called the 'footpath'. Much clearer. Pavement is a paved surface, like, with pavers. (they're like bricks used for ground surfaces).
Hiya Ethan, don't forget about the link I gave you, its Keith Weir Greggains Whitehaven accent, it's called a Cumbrian tale, are you any further on with the regional United Kingdom accents?
One that makes me laugh is Americans calling Guide Dogs, ‘seeing eye dogs’.

So I wouldn't be too hard on yourselves if I were you, just politely smile at any pedants and shrug them off.
Having said that though, I don't think I'll ever tolerate the obligatory 'like' that some (especially West Coasters) inject into their speech every 4/5 words, or the nonsensical way in which many Americans omit the _'nt_ from _could'nt care less!_
Michael McIntyre had a funny interview on Top Gear.
Try watching
Michael McIntyre, “Send To All”
There are lots to choose from…
for your first pic, I’d go with a celebrity victim that you have already heard of…
After one or two more celebs you can then react to Michael being interviewed by James Cordon, where they both play ‘SEND TO ALL’…
It’s brilliant…x
When you realize people you know in person have become famous/well known across the pond. =O You guys are awesome and love the channel ^.^
Check out "The Graham Norton show" with Miriam Margoyles. She has been on several times.
Pavement or Path is our word for it in the UK the road is made from tar-mac.
J.R should look familiar. He presented the first two series of Penn & Teller Fool Us.
We call them glasses and differentiate by saying distance or reading. So we call them glasses and sun glasses.
Most call them "spec's" or just "bins"... but that'd confuse the Yank's a lot more I guess!
In Australia, pavement is a concreted area, roads are roads, and we say footpath. We also say glasses or spectacles, never eye glasses.
they do , but the weird part is , fotball (soccer) uses feet to play , but (american ) fotball in uses their hands , opposite.
Have you ever watched Horrible Histories? Or Doctor Who?
Horrible histories would be funny for them to watch
i like how they say americans had to change the word pavement like they existed before the English language, it's always been called pavement lmao XD
The one about the dentist is the best 🤣🤣🤣
No in the UK they do not shorten things. Keep in mind the US is still a brand new country by comparison. Julius Cesar visited the UK, so it was inhabited at least at his time, meaning at least for nearly 2 millenia. The language got exported to the US, so you guys lengthened things, if we go technical on the subject. Lets be honest here.
Mathematics always used to be referred as a plural. Since it got shortened across the pond, it became singular, MATH.
I'm no expert, but racquetball and squash are definitely different games.
We call it the path which is on the pavement
Micheal Mcintyre does a show here and part of it he takes a celebrties phone and send s a weird text to evryone of their contacts. The results of the replys are hysterical, How ever the best one was when James Cordon turned the table and they did it from Micheals own phone. Micheal got his own back by sending the same message from james's phone. I have watched it a few times and cry with laughter everytime. Link below

Try Michael McIntryre and his "Send to All" conversations. It's with a lot of Briish people who you will never have heard of, but that doesn't matter. They are still very funny. Also the one where he steals a woman's meals from her freezer and serves it back to her as a 5-star gourmet meal. Basically, he is a very funny, non-offensive, not cruel comedian.
In Australia the 'sidewalk' is called the 'footpath'. Much clearer. Pavement is a paved surface, like, with pavers. (they're like bricks used for ground surfaces).
That's really interesting! In the UK 'footpath' is generally used for a designated place to walk in the countryside.
Thank you!!!
He didn't even start on the spelling , that's a whole programme on its own.
Love you two!
He did send to all with James Corden
Hiya Ethan, don't forget about the link I gave you, its Keith Weir Greggains Whitehaven accent, it's called a Cumbrian tale, are you any further on with the regional United Kingdom accents?
