Well, I was watchin 'shop girl' the other day (actually before christmas) and anyway the main charactor (who's american) says 'anti-depressant'.
I couldn't believe it! I assumed that all you North American folks said it the same way us Brits do. I'll be wrong then!
We say 'AN-tea'-depressants whilst you lot say 'AN-tie'-depressants.
You say tomato, we say tomato.....
Well quite random I know, but still. It had never ocurred to me. Its interesting! Actually I always tease my bf as he worked in America and he says 'zee' for the letter Z - we say 'zed'.
I wonder what us Brits sound like to you folk in America? I got teased when I first ever set foot in the US - I asked for a bottle of water in some shop place at the airport and the server giggled at me and asked me where I was from. Oh well.
