since there's no such thing as a british english accent i'd imagine there's lots of differences, every one in britain talks with different accents

Never been to Canada, but after having some difficulty ordering breakfast in San Francisco, USA an Australian family had similar difficulties. The father of the family loudly remarked, 'Ever tried English, mate?' And I remarked, quietly, 'He could do with a few lessons.'

To many Americans English is or was a leaned language and so they said words how they were written..so vase...varsse in English become vazze in American English. Forehead is 4-head in American English and for'red in English. Many other words are pronounced as they are written in American English.

Waistcoat....
Waist-coat........ American
Wes'cut.............English.
