I mean we do use American English sometimes and British English some other times lol.

u/osolovim 1d ago

i think its cause in canada if you vandelize or grafitti something you must use both american and canadian language. otherwise they can pull you over.

I’d rather play that than English (simplified)

u/MinecraftPlayer799 1d ago

I'd slightly rather play that than British English, with a bunch of weird spellings.

Is it a Canadian developer studio? Would be a fun nudge to their roots

u/LPedraz 21h ago

It's the only form of English where you can have the word "flavourize"!

1

u/Oohbunnies 20h ago

Don't say that too loudly or "someone" will slap a tariff on it! 😆

1

u/Vladishun 17h ago

I feel like that someone would just rename English and say it's now "American".

1

u/Southern_Shock_1337 15h ago

American English isn’t the same as Canadian (British, really.)

It’s just different spelling. Mostly u’s

Example:
Canadian: Neighbour, colour, flavour
American: Neighbor, color, flavor

Canadian English also has some other quirks like serviette instead of napkin (unless it’s the cloth kind.) They also use more American vocabulary like apartment instead of flat, pants instead of trousers, elevator instead of lift, etc.

2

u/lucaskywalker 11h ago

I lived in Canad my whole life, in Quebec, and I've rarely heard an Anglo call a napkin a serviette! In frenglish maybe...

1

u/youtocin 10h ago

My buddy is from Toronto and he always said it which caught my ear as an American who had never heard that word before.

1

u/lucaskywalker 7h ago

My wife's sister is from Toronto, and they are universally called napkins there.

1

u/youtocin 3h ago

Clearly not universal since I already provided a counterexample.

1

u/Cplchrissandwich 14h ago

Nah, we use both actually. Ive heard trousers and lift.

1

u/Southern_Shock_1337 11h ago

I was more so pointing towards the difference in grammar and spelling but yes you’re right. There are many words we use in Canada that you don’t hear in America. Chesterfield, rumpus room, serviette, bathroom (this may have changed, when I went to the states as a child nobody knew what a bathroom was, it was a washroom)

The reason I didn’t go for the difference in words specifically is that happens even within Canada. I’m from Saskatchewan, and we say bunnyhug and smorgasbord

2

u/youtocin 11h ago

I think you got it backwards, Canadians usually say washroom which we don’t say in the US at all. We say bathroom or restroom.

1

u/Southern_Shock_1337 11h ago

Ah yeah I must’ve got them mixed up

1

u/anguscatawesome 9h ago

Dont forget “touque ! »

1

u/Southern_Shock_1337 9h ago

I forgot it because I don’t use it lol I know I know bad Canadian
