A Brit, Sir Humphry Davy, is the one who named it aluminum 200 years ago. We can't help that you changed your minds and started calling it aluminium later on.
LOL
Thanks for saving me the trouble of typing that.
Davy first called it "alumium" but changed it to "aluminum" in a book he wrote. The didn't sound uppity enough to the leaders of the British scientific community so "aluminium" was born.
@@renaissanceman7145 As an American, I wouldn't mind alumium, but aluminium is just too stupid to say. :)
My husband and I live in Texas, where Summers stay above 110 F for weeks at a time. We went to England in 2014 to play a blues festival. I think it was in August. The temperature was in the 80s and our British hosts and new friends were MELTING. It was cute.
Periodic tables printed for use in America really do use the American spelling of aluminum. Brits first used alumium, then aluminum (the American spelling), and then later aluminium. Aluminum happened to stick as more popular in the US.
Some say that aluminium looks prettier and more consistent with the spellings of elements like plutonium, sodium, and iridium. But aluminum is consistent with elements like molybdenum, lanthanum, and platinum...so obviously not a good reason to use one or the other.
It's kinda the same way with "soccer" and "herb" and probably other words! They make fun of us for pronouncing something a certain way when they used to say it that way too but decided to change it - then act like WE changed just to be different but we didn't. 😂
The British have bad teeth thing actually started in the 17th century when shipping sugar to England became feasible due to British colonization. There was no modern dentistry or fluoride and so the massive sugar consumption naturally led to widespread tooth decay.
My favorite one is "You Chewb". UA-cam. Makes me laugh everytime.
Most Americans are coffee drinkers, so they have coffee makers. My sister, who is a tea drinker, has an electric kettle.
I have an electric kettle for my Ramen Noodles. If I drink tea, it’s a cold iced tea brew and I hate coffee. But electric kettles are perfect for Ramen noodles in a cup. 🤷♀️
Ya gotta check out more of Lawrence's videos explaining US words/pronunciations.
Same goes for the kids. Ollie & Josh should have a video explaining the words everyone in Britain freaks out over.
As someone in the US, I don't agree with her way of making tea either. I wanted to throw the cup at her 😂
Electric kettles are available, it’s just not many people use them. I have one and hardly ever use it.
I use mine all the time
I used to have an electric kettle that I used all the time. Now I just use the Keurig either with a tea K-cup or just to heat the water. It saves space on the counter.
In addition to a lot of Americans preferring coffee over tea, standard US outlets are only 120V compared to the 220V outlets in Britain. So it basically takes twice as long to boil the same amount of water in a US electric kettle.
Soccer is an abbreviation of Association Football which is a British thing.
Why would u have an electric kettle when you have a perfectly good microwave??
12:15 schudent 😂
In GBR cars have bonnets and boots. In the States, that’s what we put on babies before they leave the house.
My 24-year-old daughter is on her 3rd electric kettle since college. My bestie is on probably her 10th. They both only drink tea instead of coffee. Meanwhile, my husband and I are on our 6th coffee maker (Single serve that I use for tea when I want that).
We have kettles in america. We just don't often use them- takes up too much space. I have a coffee maker, a stand mixer, toaster, microwave, and a blender/chopper for nuts and smoothies. Why on earth would I add another appliance to plug in when I can either boil water on the stove, or just microwave it? I have a full on tea kettle for the stove already as well. Why add electric kettle to that? Unnecessary. On top of that, in my family I'm the *only* person who drinks tea. So usually its one cup if any, lol.
Yup, I use my coffee maker to make hot tea. Bet they don't have coffee makers over there. 🤷♀️
25 letters of the alphabet are one letter long but one letter of the alphabet is 3 letters long🤦🏿♂️
You've heard of the Zedbra 🦓, right?😂
Alluminum is not spelled with an "i" before the "u" at the end on our periodic table. That's why the British way seems odd to Americans. Also, there are words in which the accent is on a different syllable. In America, we say, "CAPillary." The British say, "caPILLary." Also, I've always had an electric kettle. I also have a water cooler that has piping hot water on tap, but I drink rooibos tea throughout the day, and sometimes bone broth. The term SOCCER originated in England. Look it up.
We won, it's Zee not Zed
Aluminum is the original way the word was pronounced and the person who discovered it wanted it to be spelled/pronounced aluminum himself... But then his students (he was a teacher in university or something) bullied him into "Aluminium".
"Football" actually came from you Brits as well. Lost In The Pond goes over that pretty well in one or two videos.
Also... Math is just one subject. All of it is math. There are different ways to do math, but it's still just... Math.
Also also... We don't usually say Route as "out" but with an R in front of it. Think of Route 66. Lol
I say Route 66 in the “root” way, but if discussing directions it’s Route as in the “out” way.
I think it depends on where you live and Route 66 is a named place so it’s not up for debate. It’s like telling a person named Laurie… can be pronounced “Lori” or “Lowery’, but it’s their name so you don’t get to decide.
I love that the one young man noted that not many people in the UK know how to say the TH sound, lol. I'm sorry but math is math, lol. Good sports all of them!
I wouldn't mind an electric kettle but again, it wouldn't get used anymore than the stove-top one because if I want a cup of tea (and 9 times out of 10, I'm only drinking one), I'm putting the water in a mug to heat it in the microwave. Unlike that woman, I don't add milk/cream. It's just water, tea (regular or flavored) and some sugar and/or lemon if I'm sick. No muss/no fuss and no water wasted.
That's fancier than me. I use both electric and stove top and either a tea bag or loose tea in a mesh tea container. nothing else no milk, sugar or lemon. Coffee same way just ground beans and water, black. no extra fluff..
@@lilyz2156 I can't do black coffee. Must have cream and sugar. I don't buy loose tea but I need to. I have the stuff to do it but just never think about it, lol.
I think the black coffee is more, I'm lactose intolerant and diabetes runs on my dad's side where my father escaped as the only non diabetic in his immediate family. All 3 of my uncles are diabetic, both paternal grandparents and 4 cousins. I don't want to become a statistic as it's in my genes.@@tinahairston6383
The “innit” of it all - it’s as if the British want you to agree with whatever they’ve just said. “That’s a bit rubbish, innit?” said Paul Hollywood to every contestant ever. “That’s a bit harsh,” said one contestant back to him. Loved your reaction, Kabir, as always. Peace …
It's more like how Canadians add "eh?" to so many sentences, stereotypically.
I know in some places up North in the US they say "Don't you know?" at the end of their sentences. Here in the South we go with "I reckon," a statement rather than a question, but it's the same idea. They all express that what's being said is an opinion, not necessarily a fact. :)
I’m American and say in’it for isn’t it. I grew up using egg cups. I use a kettle that I put on the stove because I don’t have counter space for extra things. We always had a tea pot with a cozy on it. Can you tell I grew up in an all English household? :)).
you flipping out about the tea had me cracking up 😂
I absolutley LOVE the way the britsh speak.
Im constantly teasing my fiance about her speech. She's South African so its really close to Limey speak. Lol
Route has two pronunciations in American English. Root and Route. I say both depending on the sentence.
Same
I love the phrase “innit” they snapped with that 😂
In the south we don't make tea like that. We boil water in a kettle with tea bags and then put it in a container, pour a shit load of sugar in it, stir it up and put it in the fridge to get cold. Once cold, you fill up a glass with ice and fill it from the container.
So the Brits pluralize "maths", but also use the singular "sport"? Seems pretty suss to me.
It's all in a dialect difference how we treat collective and mass nouns differently.
Electric kettles in the UK are 240V and the US is only 120V. So it takes at least twice as long in the US.
Kettles aren’t common not only cuz we don’t drink tea like that, but we just put a cup of water in the microwave for a min or two to heat up water. Kettles aren’t particularly necessary.
Surely that's a hassle if you are making a few hot drinks?
@@missdragonfire Maybe. But most Americans I know aren’t making a bunch of warm drinks at a time. We don’t really drink tea or have a “tea time” type of thing so we’re not warming up drinks for several people. If anything, you may have several people who want coffee, but then you just put a pot of coffee on or use coffee cups.
@@cbraun4u The closest we get is sweet, iced tea in the south, which we consume quite a bit of in general.
lol so enjoyable to watch them react and watch you reacting to their reaction it’s funny lol
My mom grew up with Irish immigrants who came to the US in the 1800's, was taught the alphabet 'H' pronounced 'aitch'. We always teased her for that!
Aaaagh.... memories of teasing my mom!❤
The girls making hot tea don't know how to make hot tea.
I have an electric kettle - in fact, it's my 2nd one. I love it. Definitely saves electricity over heating up a burner for however long it takes to boil a kettle of tea. And I know how to properly warm a tea pot and add milk and sugar after steeping, thank you very much. Scottish grandfather to thank for that, you see.
Both my husband and son had full, scratchy beards at age 12. My hubs grew up in the city with a single mom who didn't pay much attention to her kids so he was able to go into bars all the time and get served without being carded, at 12 or 13. We moved to a rural, dry, county to raise our family. No chance of the kid moseying into a bar and getting served! ;-)
The word soccer originated at the University of Oxford in the late 1800's. So you started it then you changed it to football and we kept calling it soccer.
A lot of the young Brits on UA-cam repeatedly say "And I'm not lying", or " I can't lie". Who's saying you are? There are a lot of qualifiers and apologetics at the ends of your sentences.
In the US it's common to say "to be honest," "honestly," or "frankly." Same idea, and usually when someone hears those qualifiers, it makes them doubt everything you said prior to uttering those words, so I try to not say them (but it's hard because you hear others say it so much).
Aluminum and aluminium are 2 different words and it was aluminum first
My husband drinks tea, so I bought him an electric kettle. We love it. What a great thing.
Never heard of a toast sandwich!! Lol! Actually Americans love Brits!! At least I do!
Az temp. normally 117• F in summer with high 120•F . But in the winter we freeze and pull out our sweaters and coats when the temperature drops below 65• F at least the people who have lived here for a long time. 😊
The british called it aluminum first, then it became a class thing where all of the upper class people started calling it aluminium.
16 degrees Celsius is 60.8 degrees Fahrenheit my god and they think that's nice warm weather? now that's funny! they wouldn't even be able to handle a Saint Louis heat wave in the UK even if they wanted to LOL!
Hi Kabir, we have electric kettles in the States. In fact, I have been using mine for years.
Most Americans drink coffee and iced tea. There was a 1775 tea party called the Boston Tea Party protesting huge taxes on mandated British imported tea when America was still 13 colonies. That tea was tossed into Boston Harbor. We drank coffee thereafter. There is also Sun tea where tea bags are placed in a huge clear glass container and placed in the sun to brew.
Zed is a word not a letter
We have both electric tea kettles and stove-top tea kettles here in America. I've always lived in a household with both.
I just recently got an electric kettle and it’s one of the best purchases I have ever made. I LOVE it!!
I get I am not the normal American, but I have always had a kettle, mostly a stovetop one. Several years ago, my partner got us and electric kettle and I would not go back (although, the old kettle is in storage in case the power goes out.) Heating up water in the microwave is just gross to me for some reason. And now that I think of it, we did not have a microwave until maybe 15 years ago and it was only used to heat up leftovers.
Thank you for explaining "innit" Kabir. I was confused on that and the bizarre way that woman made "British" tea. I have never even seen an American do that before. For hot tea I have my stove top kettle. I like my Earl Grey strong and straight.
I mean we just the coffee maker to boil water instantly. Or if all else fails, just use the microwave. Though milk and sugar, I'd never put that in tea. Weird.
We have electric kettles I don't know why the British keep saying we don't 😂. I literally have one in my house.
It's crazy how brits say they invented the English language but they can't even speak it themselves.
We have electric kettles everywhere in fact my friends think I'm odd because I have 2 traditional kettles as well as the Mueller kettle as they don't have a minimum fill level.
I dont call digestives cookies, I'd call them trash.
6:37 - It's actually spelled "aluminum" on the Periodic Table in U.S. schools.
Cant speak for every american but I dont have an electric kettle because id never use it lol. No tea. No coffee, i guess maybe id use it for ramen? but microwave
Sir Humphrey Davey named the element in 1808 as aluminum with the "American" spelling (his) not American. In 1812 American and Britain were at war so British editors changed the spelling to aluminium and claimed it was now aligned with potassium and other such spelling (not a previous concern pror to conflict). The American Chemical Society kept the original aluminum spelling in 1925. In 1990 the IUPAC, The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry decided to keep the aluminium spelling and put it on then periodic table as such. Americans thought it a bother and trivial., and did . . nothing--thus aluminum.
I'm from the US and have an electric kettle. It doesn't look like a regular one though. I can see the measurements and water from the sides. It's fast and convenient.
Britush guy reacting to British guys reacting to American guys meme-ing British guys.
We have electric kettles. I have one in my kitchen now. Also have someTetley tea from Walmart. My daughter went on line and ordered some British foods etc. She gave me 8 cans of baked beans and believe me they tasted so different than what I remember from England. We have a few British things here. If I could shop on our Air Force Base down the road I would stock up on English food and chocolate. We do have Cadbury here but in my opinion it tastes different. I miss the big tins of Quality Street. Hint hint 😅❤
We don't have electric kettles on the whole because we have coffee makers. Most of us in the US prefer coffee but there are still quite a few who do prefer tea. On a majority scale though most of us will drink either, but if given the choice will take coffee every time.
This was cute. :) lol
Fish and chips is one of the best meals ever.
We say zed in Canada,too.
There are a lot of electric kettles in America lol
The vast majority of them in the form of automatic coffee machines.
Aluminium is a British spelling. Aluminum is the American spelling (our go to dictionary is Webster's). YOUR periodic table signifies Al as aluminium, whereas the same chart signifies Al on our periodic table as aluminum. Thus the different pronunciations. Originally both countries having developed the metal simultaneously (for war machines), as did other cultures, mixed spelling and pronounciations equally between the divide we now see. Soccer was orignally how the English named the leagues that played the sport and hence referred to the game as such. It was your word. American football was referred to as such to differentiate it from rugby, although similar AF was still unique.
I say itn't it. I'm in florida. Digestives sounds like they help the stomach. Definitely not a cookie here. That toast sandwich sounds either like a hoax or someone got stoned and thought of it.
Kettle, thank ghu, since a friend gave me one about four years ago. And that girl doesn't even know what tea *is*. She pretty much made cambric tea (nursery tea). Hot water and milk. If you could taste any tea in that, I'll eat my hat. (I'm a non-coffee drinking American because I think it tastes awful.) Um, I say the letter H as aitch when I'm spelling something out loud. Now, if they'd said Haitch...Clueless on that one. We drop the H in herb because it's French, and that's the proper pronunciation. We don't pronounce all French loan words correctly, but we try. Paté, roux, sauté... plus, y'know, many of our imported UK shows or movies are more about middle-class to low-class people, so we've heard more of those accents than upper-class. Thry're not all Downton Abbey. Are You Being Served is just one example. I learned the sort-of-Cockney spoken in the My Fair Lady movie too, like a previous commenter. I was good enough to fool a legit pearlie in Victoria BC, for a few seconds, anyway. He'd immigrated to Canada from London. He sold us a humongous stick of Brighton rock that I hadn't finished after a week. I've always womdered about things like Chewsday myself.
I tried an electric kettle. I didn't like it, and went back to using the microwave. Someone in the comments said the 240V in the UK can heat water faster, so maybe that's it.
Aiche = aye-ch is what they were going for. A lot of people are shooting for their version of Cockney older folks like me first heard Cockney in the movie musical My Fair Lady with Rex Harrison Audrey Hepburn.
I love to cook but it was Eddie Izzard that reminded me it was Her-b because there's a fucking H in it. If you you haven't seen it, find it then when watching the Church of England, he's a riot!
It’s pronounced “erb” because it’s from fucking French. Just like hour and honor. At some point snooty Brits decided to be snooty about people dropping Hs and in the case of herb over corrected.
We have electric coffee makers
A lot of us have electric kettles, including me. The toast sandwich IS real, lol, just very old fashioned. You guys made the word soccer then went back to just football, then make fun of US for keeping soccer as if we just decided to make a different word just to be different! Aluminum is spelled the same way we say it on our periodic table, or else we'd pronounce the extra I. You guys used to say herb with the silent H, decided it sounded "too french" so you started pronouncing the H, then laugh at us for keeping it the original way. Kinda wish Josh and Ollie knew this stuff so they could have told the kids. 😂 I don't mind any of this though - it's all in good fun.
A toast sandwich sounds a lot like beans on toast. Just carbs on carbs. And we do have electric kettles. Thats basically what a keurig is.
Nope.
Kabir, google "yod dropping" for words like "stupid". American southerners say "idnit" instead of "innit".
microwave instead of a kettle
6:33 Kabir… cmon now 😂😂 it’s not spelled Aluminium. It’s spelled Aluminum.
Every American tea drinker i know has an electric kettle, myself included. They're not as uncommon as theyre made out to be.
Your teeth are fine. Don’t worry about it.
I’ve only ever had a stovetop kettle and it takes about 2 minutes to heat water (I drink more hot chocolate than tea but it’s made the same). Brits must be really impatient when it comes to their tea.
Your teeth look great. Everyone’s could be whiter. But we could all also look like Ross from Friends in that one episode…
i an american in florida have an electric kettle
At my school if you showed up at the start of term with any facial hair you would be told to immediately shave it off.
I have an electric kettle. I hate tea.
I'm pretty sure the girl making tea was joking.
Also we Canadian don't use miles 😅
Aluminum only has one I in American English spelling. Are you certain it has 2 in British English.
Of course we have kettles but most of us don't drink that much hot tea. What's the point of boiling a whole kettle full of hot water putting on the stove when you can warm it up in the microwave and it costs a whole lot less money because electricity isn't cheap. You're using a lot more electricity to heat your kettle than I am to put one cup of water in the microwave . Plus it takes a lot less time to heat up a couple of water in the microwave and it does to heat up a kettle on the stove. You know we Americans are always in a hurry.
Yes, it has 2.
I think the tea thing is a joke. We have always used electric kettles in our home in Nova Scotia Canada.
It's not a joke in the US.
I’ve never understood why Brits are so offended by using the microwave to make water hot. It’s way faster and not like it’s changing the flavor. It’s water…there’s no flavor. We like convenience and using a kettle is an unnecessary waste of time. We also aren’t drinking tea nonstop.
No wonder Idi thought he was king of Scotland. A continent full of people asking "Do you Amin?"
What kettle?
It's spelt Aluminum in America and Aluminium in Britain. I think Aluminium is technically correct but that's not how we spell it. In fact, my spell check is underlining it.
We say Zee-bras, not Zeb-ras. :)
You know a lot of people here in the US have electric kettles, right? 🤷♀
I was 16 and could grow a full beard. Aluminum, without the other "i" was a mistake from a telegram translation that stuck in the US. Hot tea isn't much of a thing in the US. No one ever told these kids that Brits invented the word "soccer".
The stereotype about British people and bad teeth has been false for as long as it's been around. The British are not obsessed with bleaching their teeth, as are Americans, but your healthcare system enables Brits to have much, MUCH healthier teeth than Americans do. Even Americans lucky enough to have health insurance have a difficult time affording dental care. Dental insurance in the US is a joke. It's seriously bad.
