And this is totally random, but I like that in America I'm "Ry-in." Whereas here in the UK I am "Ry-aaaan."

YOU'RE RY-UN IF I SAY IT, YO. BUT YES, AMERICANS TOTALLY PUT AN 'I' SOUND WHERE WE'D HAVE AN 'U' SOUND - ESPECIALLY THE VALLEY GIRLIES. ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES IT IS VICE VERSA. LISTEN TO LIESL USING THE WORD 'DEPEND' IN 'SIXTEEN GOING ON SEVENTEEN' - ALL 'DU-PEND'. JULIE ANDREWS SAYS 'DIPPEND', IN GOOD OLD FASHIONED ENGLISH FASHION.

In Australia Id call you Baz

Americans say they'll "write you", while Brits would say they'd "write to you".

Yes! That always gets my goat! It's like "You're going to write ON me? or TO me? Or ABOUT me?! Please specify!!"

And Americans will say "You're tan."
When Brits will say "You're tanned."

Actually I've started saying 'I'm quite tan!' Ugh bloody Americanisms!

YES! AMERICANS ALWAYS OMIT PREPOSITIONS. BRITS WILL SAY 'A COUPLE OF MINUTES' WHILE AMERICANS WILL SAY 'A COUPLE MINUTES'.

HOWEVER, ODDLY, AMERICANS 'VISIT WITH SOMEONE'.

I grew up calling a couch a chesterfield, because my parents are from Newfoundland; it's still a very common term among eastern Canadians. Thankfully, I grew out of that one, because I can't bring myself to think of my leather couch as a chesterfield. o.O

Theres a place called Newfoundland?

Yah, aptly named, too. Vikings had settled there long before any other westerners. It's the strangely shaped island at the far eastern tip of Canada. And it's full of strange people, too. So full, a lot of them move to the mainland, reproduce and populate Canada with weirdies like me. >.>

So... you're part viking?

I don't know if anyone has addressed the words that Southern people use, because I didn't read through all 11 pages. I'm not talking, "yonder," and, "ain't", either!

We call a paper bag a "poke"

Instead of pushing/pressing a button, we "mash," it.

We substitute "ill" for mad. (ie: Don't get ill.)

Beat up is, "whoop up on."

Of course, we say, "fixing to," in stead of about to.

Staying out is, "laying out." (ie: He laid out all night, or, She laid out of work)

"Lickety split," means really fast.

And of course, we never call it the Civil War. It's, "The War Between The States."
