Worth mentioning that the comparison between 'a practice' and 'to practise' carries over to 'a licence' and 'to license'. I think in USA English both are always spelt with a -C whether or not it's a verb or a noun. I believe the UK spelling is also the Irish, Australian, South African and New Zealand spelling. Not sure about Canada.
Yes, it seems people in 2024 treat the "rules" as optional :) Maybe a sensible group of people from all the English speaking world could sit around a table with a few drinks and work out a simplified/consolodated set of words and rules. Probability of this happening 0.1% :) I guess we will just have to manage with what we have...
Americana use “gas pedal” and “accelerator” interchangeably. No one would blink at either term. Similarly, “stick shift” and “manual transmission” are also interchangeably used here.
Yes, there is a lot difference when you start looking, I didn't talk about "roundabouts" and a lot of other road related differences. I think I will add "food" to my ideas list :) Thank you for the comment.
The internet strikes! Thanks for your point of view as well. The good news for me, I'm going to carry on spelling it "Night" :) www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/nite
This video is chock full of errors. Just the first two items-Americans don’t use “nite” as a standard spelling. And we don’t use the spelling “practise.” We write “practice” for all meanings. Also, we don’t say “driving license.” We say “driver’s license.” Don’t listen to this presenter to learn accurate information.
I am an American English speaker who has followed Hilary's podcast. While I agree with your corrections, I'd like to say Hilary's specialty is British English and I've benefited from her podcast. Don't let this single episode deter you from her other content.
"Nite" is only used in informal contexts in the U.S. The official spelling is "night."
Now that is interesting. Thanks for letting me know :)

Another area of differences is food!
