Uk stores open later, and close earlier, to enhance the quality of life. We are not work obsessed, we don’t feel the need to work or shop all hours of the day. I could be wrong, but from what i see and read, America stays open constantly as people are obsessed by working, eating out, and shopping. No offense meant, i love America, just observations 😂
Kettles aren't really a thing in the U.S. partly because of voltage, the U.S. power socket voltage is half that of the U.K. and Europe and so takes longer, plus while we use kettles often for coffee, most of us make it using instant freeze dried coffee while the U.S. has a bond with the coffee maker, etc... U.S. chocolate has butyric acid in which is a left over by product from a process to break down the fatty acids in milk. Butyric acid is also found in strong cheese and yes, vomit, the butyric acid is what gives vomit it's strong smell.
From the late 18th and for most of the 19th centuries, America was developing quickly partly due to the vast numbers of immigrants flooding in from across the world, and for an awful lot of them English was a foreign language, and one rich in inconsistencies and idiosyncracies. One way to simplify the process of integrating them was to make the language a bit easier, hence the simplification of some words ; e.g, apart from the "u" words you had others like "centre" - why not put the "e" and "r" the other way round, so it sounds as it looks? Similarly you might spell a word like "recognise" with a "zee" (You DO mean a "zed" don't you?). In others you could afford to either remove or ignore the odd letter, check "aluminium", which you pronounce as if the second "i" doesn't exist. So, it's really all down to assimilating newcomers as quickly and painlessly as possible - perfectly understandable, but still so very, very WRONG!
one difference comes to mind when I look at and listen to you , Olivia. I’ve never heard an American use a term that we do , and which really applies to you. As a British man , I would describe you as “ Eminently bonkable”
