I think it was Churchill who said we are two nations divided by a common language.
Things I find weird about US English are the way you pronounce "Vase" because in movies made before 1980 you pronounced it the same as us. Likewise the name "Colin". Your version sounds more like "Colon" now. Another recent change seems to be replacing "a" with "o", so "Pasta" sounds more like "Posta" now.
I'd better stop before someone finds this post offensive. ;)
I enjoy BBC movies/series so I see the differences.. but I didn't see how things were so different until my English class this semp. We have a recording of a brit actor that is reading Charles Dickens.. I'm like what did he say? lol The professor has to stop the audio once in awhile to explain what was being said. :P
