7:21 In Canada, we also determine the distance between two cities by saying the time it takes to travel from one to the other.

It was great to have Madam Rachel, Mr Bob. It was heartwarming to see them explain their terminology. As an Indian, we have all mix of US, UK and Canadian terms. And I tell you interesting fact Lucy, most Hindi and other languages have incorporated most of the all three countries' terms. Regards

Growing up I didnโt exactly know which English we were taught at school. I only realized after coming to the US that my previous school taught British English (sans the accent lol). I learned to replace my vocabs from rubber to eraser, trousers to pants, rubbish to trashโฆ and spell certain words differently like color instead of colour. I was also shocked to learn the American way of reading time was a lot simpler than the British, such as instead of half past four, itโs just four-thirty or instead of five past six, itโs six-oh-five (btw, the number 0 is usually read as oh, such as when referring to room numbers you would say room three-oh-four to refer to room 304). The American way of reading time was a relief for me since I sucked at the British way back then. But I love British accent while still appreciating the simplicity of American English and hopefully Iโll learn more about Canadian English.

When Canada was switching to the metric system they showed us a way to convert from km to miles which is handy for converting to time. For example, drop the right-most digit (which is usually a zero) and multiply the rest by 6. So 100 km becomes 10 multiplied by 6 which equals 60 miles or 60 minutes.

I'm from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. My answers:
1. Mostly zee, sometimes zed. I use zed when I'm spelling out something so it's not confused with D or B
2. Bill
3. Sneakers
4. Couch
5. 1 dollar ๐คท๐ฝ we'd say single if referring to the bill itself and not the amount ("You have any singles?").
6. Soft drink is seen as most proper...see-drink or swee-drink (from "sweet drink" but no-one says sweet drink) is a dialectal form (idk the proper term to use there)
7. One kilometer. Also use 1k or 5k for running events etc.
8. Bachelor/bachelorette party
9. Eh (pronounced 'eh' as in 'egg') or ent (same soft e) which probably comes from innit since we were a British colony
10. Cigarettes
11. Pennacool (from "penny cool" cuz they used to cost a penny). We use to have a brand called Freezies. A lolly is the kind with the stick.
12. Milk? ๐คท๐ฝ
13. Car park (or multi storey car park but nobody says all those extra words for no reason๐) or parkade rarely
14. Bathroom, washroom, restroom, or toilet interchangeably. I've only ever heard water closet from old people.
15. Fire station
16. Electricity or current. When power goes out - "current gone"
17. Whole wheat bread
18. Napkin
19. Because of the packaging I would say 24 pack. We have actual, reusable hard plastic cases that bottled beer comes in but this kind in the cans would be a 24 pack, although I've only ever seen 6 packs sold like that.
