d20owlbear:azfell-and-his-demon:arimathea-adytum:official-lucifers-child:jasmiinitee:tagaston:For any of you who are writing ‘across the pond’-here is a little guide I put together of some common differences between British and American English!Also for all of us non-native speakers who don’t know which fucking English we’re even usingfunny story: when i was growing up and learning english, i read a lot of books that were completely and entirely british or australian english bc they were the british or australian print copies, not americanthat’s why i use so many british english and australian english words instead of american, like i say mum and flat and post and crisps and biscuits and tapI prefer a good amount of the British English words over the American ones and I’m a Filipino with a Greek stepdad who lives in California.Hey my fellow fic writers - you might find this useful! I’d also like to add that Aziraphale would not button his jumper, because jumpers don’t have buttons. Woolly “jumpers” that button down the front are called cardigans.For use! Useful @cassieoh!People in the US definitely use “make-up” and “wash your hands”, and “soda” is regional. I use it bc my parents were Californian and I grew up in Montana. Easterners usually use “soda” too, but to Midwesterners, it’s “pop” and Southerners often just call it all “coke” no matter what kind they’re drinking. https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/c8hxkr/does_your_state_say_soda_pop_coke_or_a_combination/ -- source link
