I'm french and I just realised that when I speak english I mix all of these.. I guess teachers at school in France just didn't tell us the differences between cultures, that's too bad! Very interesting video

I'm American and have been all over the states and I have never heard a store that only sells alcohol called a ABC Store. This type of store is called a liquor store lol. Also what Vanessa calls a tractor trailer is a semi truck or just semi for short. I agree with you Lucy on the woods vs forest! Lastly, in America a duvet is a type of comforter that has a removable cover. So interesting how English is different around the world!

I just realized that my english is a mix of American, British, and Australian

U.S. : HIGHWAY Australia : HIGHWAY UK : Thank you so much to Emma and Vanessa for coming

A dooner in Australia is - called Doona because it is usually a simple quilt or cotton bag that is filled with goose or duck down (the soft feathers) - down became doon - 'dooner' & then placed into a removable cotton casing. U put it straight onto your bed with just an undersheet & your pillow. No blankets, nothing else. A comforter is usually a quilt that can also be filled with down but it tends to have quilted stitching on it & doesn't get a cover placed over it & is used as a top bedspread.
-
Dovet is the one where you have a cover and internals that can be separated. A comforter is one that can't be seperated.

Learned some British English when I grew up…every time when I want to say “side walk”, pavement came into my head but then when the word is at my mouth, it feels weird and I always second guess. Some other good ones: rubber/ eraser, torch/ flash light, trash/ garbage. Biscute was a good one. Took time to absorb that.

Comfort=comforter “That’s so weird!” “In Australia it’s called a DoOnA” 😂

In america, a duvet also refers to the outside blanket casing of a feather blanket. Kind of like a very large pillow case for a feather blanket. Its enclosed on three sides and has buttons, zipper or straps on the fourth side.

Hey, i'm Peter but I'm French. I really loved that one. I tell my students to feel comfortable with any of these words because we can't reach perfection. As long as you try, that's ok. That's interesting how you manage to make it cool and not boring.
-
For a non native speaker like me, American english is a lot easier to understand. British english is indeed beautiful in its own way.

I love how she pauses her guests in the worst expressions but hers never pauses. Hahahahaha

Interesting! :) Thanks for the informative video! (American here) You didn’t say what do folks in the UK call the highway? Motorway, I guess?
