Well, let's see now.
How does a Canadian... caught between the two here... fare on this chart.
I'd say the majority is USA english with these exceptions:
We'll say cab or taxi interchangeably.
We'll say curtains far more than drapes. But some might use drapes.
We'll use fall or autumn interchangeably. Might lean a bit more towards fall.
Faucet or tap depends on the situation. I'll go to the store to buy a faucet but yell at my kids for not turning off the tap.
Line and queue are equal, but we'll say "Hey! You! Get in line! or The line's over there!" But we all know what a queue is.
Movie is used more than film. "Did you see that movie?" but "I saw this film where..." Becoming more rare, though.
Pajamas, pyjamas... we "Say" pyjamas but spell it pajamas usually.
Subways are subways the world over unless you're talking about the London underground.
We'll take a vacation but ask if you've had a nice holiday.
And no english speaking person on Earth says "maize".
Thanks for sharing! I genuinely find it interesting. I sometimes think that I write some UK dialect, and no one else has a clue what I mean. But I generally know most USA/ Canadian terms (I think), must be from all the american tv. And I KNOW. Maize? That's a made up word for sure
Rather intimidating isn't it?
How hot (hotter) does it get nearby when the dragon spouts flames?
EXTREMELY HOT!
If you're standing right underneath it / in its firing line you REALLY feel it, it's pretty cool! Makes the experience more real I guess
Is it weird sitting in what looks like a part of London but hearing almost nothing other than American accents?
As long as I've got my pumpkin juice in one hand and a chocolate frog in the other, I'm not listening to anything going on around me
Poor Katie! You're good for nothing!
I know right?!
It's solid... all the way through????
It sure is!!! Always takes a couple of days / people to get through it all. It's really good!
You'd be a good person to have along on a nature hike if you happened to come across a bear, or lion, or aardvark.
I can't tell if you meant this sarcastically or not.. Maybe you mean it sarcastically, like, I would be doomed, and would maybe jeopardise the safety of the hiking group. Or maybe, you're being serious, and you're saying that you would actually like to have me with you on a nature hike so that you can leave me out in the woods as bait for the bears while you run to safety...
I would say he less "bought it" and more "rented it" based on subsequent info.
So true!
Ever eaten at one?
I did not long ago (well, last year.)
The waiter asked if I wanted to play a Forrest Gump based trivia game.
He asked me about a dozen questions... And I shocked myself by getting them all right!
eg. "How many bottles of Dr Pepper did Forrest drink?" 15. No idea how I remembered that.
I haven't! And if they do Forrest Gump trivia games, I don't even care what the food is like! THAT sounds fun. I would not have known the answer to the Dr Pepper question though
That's some good knowledge!
I've seen this picture before and didn't comment since it was on Lu's TR.
But... you two both look pretty darned cute with those dolphins!
Thanks! We had such a great time.
Why? It's not a bad picture of him. Nice pic of the both of you, actually.
Haha, he says his face was much chubbier back then
No comment from me... Either response would get me in trouble.. ("Nooo, you look the same as you do now!" / "Oh yeah, you were chubby then.")
Thanks!!!
Never heard it called that before, but I can see why you do!
Jamie actually came up with the name Broccoliville, and it stuck for the entire trip!
I assume that's a typo...
Oops it was, it's been corrected
I'm sorry.... there was a what... doing WHAT?????
I KNOW
I didn't. Having never seen Arrested Development. But I know now!
Can I get some love too?
No?
Darn.
Hmm ok, I suppose you can
Ma'am? Here's your sign.
Lemme know if you don't get the reference.
I'm afraid I do not know the reference?!?
OMG! That Christmas tree is on fire!!!! Help! Help! Someone put it out!!!
I knew it! I looked at it, went "Oh, it's a picture frame."
Then immediately thought "There's no way she's taking that picture out though."
Haha YES! You know me well already
Who would ever take out that picture??! MADNESS.
Ooooh the thought that there is even a possibility of you going at the same time as me has me all excited
I don't plan on being there ON Christmas/NYE. I have before, and it is INSANE. The crowds are just
I have pretty much narrowed it down to Dec 5th - 12th, 2016. Historically, the Christmas parade is taped the first weekend in Dec which I'd like to try and avoid. Mostly because they don't put the huge tree up in MK until after the parade (bc the need the space for cameras and whatnot) and I want to be there when ALL the decorations are up and ready to go. Yes, I've already done a ridiculous amount of research for a trip that's a year and 5 months away
DVC is an amazing thing but definitely not in my price range! So luckily I have parents who bought into it years ago and are generous with sharing their points
I love the picture of you and Jamie on Splash Mountain! You look so happy!! So I must make a confession - I've never ridden Splash Mountain
I know, I know - it's a travesty of some sort! I've been going since I was 4 and did the college program but have never ridden Splash...well my son has already informed me that we are getting on it the next time we go. And I can't very well send him by himself so I guess I have to suck it up and overcome my fears
P.S. Chris Pratt is perfection in human form
That's all
From what you've described, December 5th to the 12th sounds perfect!! I'm DYING to see the Osbourne lights.. Every year I hear rumours that they're going away, which has obviously always been proven to be false, but with all of the DHS refurbishments in the works, I'm getting worried. I HAVE to get out there to see them
If I did end up being out there at the same time as you, do you remember our plans?! Didn't we say we would go pickle shopping in World Showcase?!
OMG, you did the college program and you've NEVER done Splash Mountain?!?!?!?! WHAT !!!!!!
That is absolute craziness! How come you've never wanted to ride it?! I agree with Jacob, you should definitely give it a try! It's a real heart-warmer
You guys would seriously be the cutest DIS couple, if there were such a thing.
Aww thank you!!
His mouth is dead on Beaker status!!
Right?! It's so funny when he does it properly. I really hope they still sell those Beaker hats in September, I really want him to wear it, and do the face.. It's too funny!
Straight VIP status tonight
I actually felt like royalty on this night
(<< what is this? Is she meant to be some sort of royalty?! Well, she is now)
I was going to say I love that poster picture! It's a frame? So if you put a picture in there, it will cover up Br'er Rabbit and friends??
YES, who would ever take out/cover up that beautiful Splash Mountain picture?! It's SO much better as it is. The CM looked at me like I was a little crazy, but I'm glad some people here seem to agree!
I love this stuff! Years ago, Costco was selling full size product kits that included this, a nail and cuticle cream, pumice foot scrub and a hand and cuticle scrub.
That's so cool! I always admire the full sized bottles in the hotel gift shops, but they seem so expensive when you can just be cheap like me and collect the miniatures
I have a box full!
OH MY GOSH. I feel like I tell you all my Netflix shows
We used to buy the Office seasons on DVD and had stopped after the 5th season because we had become so busy with life and what not. So when I saw it was on Netflix, I started rewatching from Season 1 about 2 months ago and we saw the final episode last week when we returned from our trip
Seeing Michael as the best man at Dwight's wedding nearly killed me. And then DH looked up on Youtube the final table read (they had recorded it!) and there was some pretty emotional moments at the table read
I haven't seen this yet, I tend to just dip in and out, but I feel like I should watch it! Ugh any serious / emotional scenes with those two is bound to be a tear-jerker though right?!
So I had to go back an re-quote everything so sorry it being out of order 
and yes, we were both wearing shorts 
Guess I'll just have to suffer through an entirely Disney vacation! 
Clearly you will see tons of pics and check-ins on FB and Instagram while we're there regardless!
I want my wedding there! 
Even if I just marry myself! 
kinda glad to hear it's happened to others
