hey arran has anyone in NY comment you on the correct way of saying words.
the words on the right is the way the british say it.
for example.

soccer instead of football
zebra instead of ze'bra
schedule instead of she'ju'ole
aluminum instead of al'minn'eum
garage instead of ge'ridge
lever instead of le'ver
yogurt instead of yo'gert

A pint of example is worth a gallon of advice!!

No, no one has really commented to me to say whether one way of saying something is 'correct' or not. (Maybe I am too 'dull' to talk to. user added image

)

When I first moved here, I did notice for about the first month that some people would repeat everything that I said or would say inane suppossedly 'english' phrases over and over to me like 'would you like a cup of tea?' which doesn't help when you are trying to get drunk.

There are a ton of different words and pronunciations that crop up all the time, such as the word 'sneakers' for 'trainers' or the word 'detail'.

Some words or phrases that I would advise against using include the word 'jumper', as in 'I am going to put on my jumper' - that will get you some funny looks, as will stating 'I would like to smoke a fag' and lastly, be very careful of the word 'fanny'. Let's just say that if an american ever says to you 'I have an itchy fanny', it does not mean the same thing!

A jumper is a long sleved top, and a fag's a cigarette

So where do they have an itch???

ha ha - ok - a jumper is like a sweater to a British person, but to an American it is a small girl's dress and a 'fanny' means arse, as in fannypack = bumbag (Not that you would ever have need or own such a thing!)

I am sure Mirek and Some Guy can give us suggestions of Australian words and different meanings as well - perhaps a new thread?

Any americans please correct me. user added image

Oh, and apologies if I caused any offence.

there is also trousers and pants.
the most funny thing that i heard here when i first came to england was. "i think you fancy him". of course i didnt know what that ment before. :blush:
here they measure ppls weight in "Stones". not pounds or kilograms but stones. i think 1 stone is equall to 14 pounds.

i think BMS is also from australia.
