Joel, I've been watching a lot of your videos about differences between words Americans and British people use, and you two made a comment in at least one video that you know some Brits who have begun to adopt American pronunciation. Do you, as a trained linguist see a global trend toward the Americanization of the English language in general, perhaps due to the amount of entertainment exported by the US, or even the enormous proportion of English speakers in the world that America produces?

Keep your place clean and garden uncluttered, and no drama with spiders or snakes. All the killer stuff is not everywhere. Crocs are only in the far north, be smart in snake areas, by wearing appropriate clothing. Yes, Australia is big. We drive 5 hours to see specialists. Cash withdrawals are charged only when third party ATMs are used. We do great takeaway. You just need to find the proper ones. Summer is summer - when it is hot. Exactly the opposite to UK. Winter is winter - when it’s cold. How hard is that? Crikey Mate! We have proper summer when 30°C is a nice day, not a heat wave.

I agree with your lists except for housing. I think there is a miss conception that housing in Australia is good. I’ve lived in Sydney for 5 years. I’m from London lived there for over 30 years. I think housing in London is 100% better than Sydney in quality. And way more houses rather than flats/ apartments to live in. But the main thing is the quality of housing in Australia is very poor not enough regulations to stop the bad build. I work in the construction industry so I can see the difference. It’s a big problem in Sydney. Plus infrastructure and planning of towns and the city in Sydney is really badly done. London is much better for transport and infrastructure

Great video Joel and Lia!!! 👍 As an Australian I thought I would refute these reasons. 1. Killer Animals- While there poisonous snakes and spiders the actual number of deaths is only around 2 per year, you are more likely to be killed by a horse than a snake. 2. Spaced out - True Australia is a big country plenty of places to explore. 3. Football - I don't care about football so this doesn't affect me. However in Australia Football (soccer) is one of four main winter sports along with AFL, Rugby Union and Rugby League we have more variety. 4. Cash Withdrawals- I think he was with the wrong bank as there is no fee for me if I withdraw cash, only if I use other bank. 5. Takeaways- We have takeaway places in Australia however they are small and local.

I am British lived in Aus for 20 years: 1) never seen killer animals, most of us live along the coast where you don't get much snakes and spiders, I live in Melbourne, the weather is temperate, the most animals I see are birds and possums. I have never checked my shoes in my life, never seen spiders in my shoes (I am a ecologist by the way). 2) yes, it is like the US for distance but most of the action/population is in the east coast, I have never been in the outback, there is nothing there but dessert, Sydney is only 1.5 hours on a plane from Melbourne. You get use of the distance, your perception of time and distance changes, and it is great when you travel, nothing phases you. 3) Not into sport but there's ton of international sport in Melbourne, the cricket, the tennis, UFC, we even get the premiere league teams on the off season, we had WWE last year 4) they only charge you on withdrawals if it is from a different bank from your own, otherwise, it is free 5) You can get every cultural food you can think of in Australia because we are close to Asia; thai, indian, Italian, everything, we have delivery services, and even fish and chips

According to a guy named Rick Scheff on the internet : mm/dd is categorically better for sorting data. In spreadsheet software and many programming languages it's not terribly relevant if and only if every date is correctly formatted and the software recognizes it as a date. What happens when you import something and they're just numeric or character values though? The data set containing the following values (given in words): Jan 5th, Mar 28th, Feb 1st, Sep 15th, Feb 8th can be represented in two ways: mm/dd: 01/05, 03/28, 02/01, 09/15, 02/08 OR dd/mm: 05/01, 28/03, 01/02, 15/09, 08/02 Now, pretend you perform a sloppy import process, and the software doesn't know that they're dates. It only knows that these are character values. You want to put the dates in order so you do an alphabetic sort. Here is the mm/dd (USA system) result: 01/05 - 02/01 - 02/08 - 03/28 - 09/15 OR Jan 5th, Feb 1st, Feb 8th, Mar 28th, Sep 15th. Here is the dd/mm (Europe system) result: 01/02 - 05/01 - 08/02 - 15/09 - 28/03 OR 1st Feb, 5th Jan, 8th Feb, 15th Sep, 28th Mar The superior system is the system that allowed you to get the result you wanted with the least amount of data manipulation effort." I suspect the digital age has just reinforced our usage, but also because contextually, the month is the most needed info, at least to us. Saying "it's the 20th!" gives a very narrow contextual view (at least for me), and saying "it's 2020!" is even more ambiguous. At least that's my opinion. And just the way we speak. Outside of saying "Fourth of July" to refer to a holiday, we say "It's July 4th."

I'm Australian and most of that article is rubbish! I never look in my shoes for spiders, rarely see one inside and then it's something harmless (still spray or squash it though - it's on my territory); sharks are a rarity and lifeguards are watching on public beaches anyway ; we love football, but it's Aussie rules, and DON'T cheat (we do have your football - soccer - here too, but not as big), never seen any killer animal. Most of us live lives similar to the average Brit, in urban areas. I've also lived in UK, USA, and Turkey...people have same hopes and dreams, love for family etc. And much of life is fundamentally the same. So I suggest a bit more research, and perhaps a visit here! Btw, enjoy watching you and your warm personalities, including Joel (my son's name too 😀) talking very naturally about being a Christian. It's so easy to hide that if you're in the public eye as so many mock Christians without having much/any knowledge of church or the Bible. Anyway, have carried on a bit as this is my first comment.

I lived in Thailand for 3 years and a hot Christmas is better than a cold one to be honest. I doubt you'd get this in Australia but we would open our Christmas presents in the morning, go get ready and then go for a walk downtown and have Christmas lunch in a pub as a family. It's something that a lot of English people in England think is very alien but I liked it a lot. Of course, a hot Christmas means too that if you have relatives to visit you don't have to worry about snow messing up those plans etc. A walk by the beach on Christmas day is something I miss.

I think the reason American date format is month, day, year, has to do with scheduling and wall calendars. If you want to mark a date on a calendar, on a wall calendar, the entire thing is the same year, so when referenced, the year can be omitted or said last. The year is usually assumed. But when you're searching for a date on the calendar, the first thing you're searching for is the month, because that tells you what page to go to. After you've found the page, then you find the day. Americans tend to adopt utilitarian conventions based on their most convenient use in their profession. It's a very business oriented country. This is actually the primary reason America hasn't adopted the metric system yet. Imperial measurements were easier to work with generations ago, before precision measurement tools were commonplace, because it's easier for workers to separate a unit of length, by eye, into halves and quarters, than into tenths. Since then, businesses have resisted the change to metric, because such a major change in measurement standards would require an enormous investment in new tools and training manuals for everyone. The US government just doesn't have enough power over US private business to force such a change swiftly.

I'm not sure why we do the date the way we do, but it's the way that was taught to me, and makes sense to me. For instance, I'd say that today is July 2nd (month then day), not the 2nd of July (day then month), so maybe that's why we do month then day?

Good topic Guys and thanks for all the great work from all 3 of your channels as above all, I always learn something new. In a nutshell The metro article sounds like its been written by someone who has never been to Australia and is written just by their perception of what they think and may have heard which is mostly flawed. I was born and mostly raised in UK and permanently emigrated to Melbourne 7 years ago. To be honest I was never a person with dreams or aspirations to move out here and truthfully I never had the interest to even visit Australia as I was reasonably ok in the UK. Without going into too much detail, I had the opportunity to emigrate due to my skills being in demand here and one thing led to another and eventually arrived. Since then I've never looked back as the lifestyle (in Melbourne, Victoria at least) suited me to a T. Love going back to UK to visit and although we know nowhere in the world is perfect, the lifestyle here draws me back each time. Australia in general, has evolved a lot, even in my 7 years here I've seen many changes as it continues to grow, especially economically. Population is very diverse, a lot more than what I thought it would be and being a Black guy I really thought I would have struggled being the 'odd one out' but was fortunately not the case. The average Aussie IMO although can be more direct compared to most Brits tend to be very welcoming, laidback and upbeat. It's fun to compare all these variables between countries but at end of the day its all about where one most feels comfortable, if they are content with their lifestyle and the type of people one has in their circle. Cheers J & L Daniel

It takes 5 hours to just get out of Australia on a plane. 9 hrs to SE Asia, 14 hrs to USA, 23 hrs to Europe. - Better and more festivals/gigs. I went to Glastonbury last year. Our equivalent is Splendour in the Grass, but it's nowhere as amazing as Glasto. Arts and entertainment generally are better in England. - Mild summers. I hate the heat in summer here in AUS. I can't sleep. - Everything has more character.

The thing about being cheaters was down to the national cricket team who tampered with the balls using sandpaper, the incident became widely known as sandpaper gate in the press. Three players received bans from playing professionally, the coach resigned, it was a very big deal. Cash withdrawals were mostly free if the ATM was one of your own bank's machines, charges usually occurred if you used a machine from another bank and they were supposed to have abolished the fee a couple of years ago but some still charge it. Pizza was the most widely home delivered food until a couple of years ago when services like uber eats and deliveroo became pretty popular and a lot more fast food places joined in. In the past few months quite a few restaurants also signed up to do delivery as a way to keep money rolling in when dining had to stop due to lockdown.

Atm thing is completely wrong we are not charged for withdrawals from atms only certain atms at like convince stores petrols stations or pubs 5. with the take out thing i think it's just different i prefer Australian fish and chips just because its what you grow up with when i was in the uk and shocked you could only get one type of fish and no chicken salt on the chips it's a travesty Hot Christmas's are amazing leading up to christmas day you do lots of activities with friends e.g going to the beach then on Christmas day you go to a relatives house and have massive lunch spread and swim in there pool Lunch Consists of Lots of.

As an Aussie who has lived in both countries, I’d like to clarify a few things: - if you live in a normal urban area, you’re highly unlikely to see any killer animals. The worst thing you might have to deal with is a swooping magpie in Spring or a huntsman spider in your house which isn’t really dangerous, though they do look bad. If you do see a snake, leave it alone and it will leave you alone. Be aware of where sharks are on the beach, listen to the warnings if one is spotted and again you’ll never see one. I’ve seen so few snakes in the wild that I can count them on one hand, and zero sharks. - Brits’ perception of distance is hilarious. To me a “long” drive is at least 3 hours. I drove to Yorkshire with a friend from Birmingham and he was so dramatic about the drive, he acted like the 3 hour drive was going to take all day and we’d have to do loads of stops on the way haha. But yeah I guess it’s because England is so much smaller so you’re not used to having to travel very far. - You only get charged for withdrawing at an ATM if it’s third party associated (so you go to an ATM that isn’t affiliated to your bank - like having a Commonwealth bank card and using an ANZ ATM). It’s very easy to avoid in most places. - Australian takeaways are incredible. We don’t have a lot of Indian takeaway, but our fish and chips are top notch. Honestly, you Brits are missing out. Classic Aussie fish and chips are epic with potato cakes, dim sims and chicken salt on everything. I really miss it! We also have takeaway options like pizza places, Chinese restaurants, burger places. I love both countries, but Australia pips the UK for takeaway, biscuits and the absolute delight of a summer Christmas 😊

All my Australian friends living in Scotland think it’s hilarious how afraid we are of their deadly animals. Our fear of Australian nature is understandable though, the most scary thing we have to look out for in long grass, in the UK, is stinging nettles and animal poo. Lol

I believe the way the dates are written in the USA has something to do with the way they say them. So a Brit would say the first of April and that's why it is dd/mm. However an American would say April the first and that is mm/dd.

2:07 correction, America has both crocodiles and alligators and is the only place in the world where they both exist in the same habitat.

With the date thing, Americans are taught to say like january 18th 2020 exactly like that instead of saying the 18th of January 2020.

I’m currently planning to move to the UK in the next 3 years and open a restaurant. As a born and bred Aussie, I wanted to give my thoughts on the list. Snakes: Snakes don’t bother me; I grew up encountering king browns and red belly black snakes on the way to school. I would stand still, wait for them to move away, and continue about my day. Size: I used to live in a town in Western Australia that was so remote all of our water had to be shipped in by truck. We had signs in public restrooms advising tourists to not waste water as it’s such a precious resource. Football: We have AFL too, as a proud Victorian I’m a die-hard AFL fan. Give it a look when you get a chance. Cash Withdrawals: This is a system that is determined by unregulated banks. None of my personal bank’s charges for transactions or withdrawals. Takeaway: This is utter rubbish. Our takeaway and food culture are amazing. (For reference I’m a Chef)

That was a fun video! Americans tend to say MM/DD/YYYY because we tend to say the month first and then the day etc. rather than the 2nd of July, 2020 for example. But you guys have gotten me to use the British fashion and write 2 July 2020 instead! It’s faster and easier to write!

But you guys also call your Independence Day “4th of July” 🇺🇸 🤔

@mortellebeaute - We often say the day then month when not accompanied by the year, but when the year is included, as Joel and Lia were noting, we say month, day, year. It’s mostly when referring to holidays or special events.

You guys do know that it's very rare that you even do get bitten by a deadly animal, right? In fact. You have more chance of getting shot in America then you do of being bitten by a deadly creature in Australia.
