live help: is there a difference between american and canadian english? - Help.com

Just a little. Not more than the differences in US regional accents.

Sometimes it’s hard to understand other people’s accents. In the UK we have so many from town to town and I can’t understand the very thick English accents most of the time!

Another thing you need to consider is that the use of slang can vary from country to country, state to state, even person to person. There are so many ways to express ourselves through language that sometimes the other side won’t understand unless you explain the context.

There’s just a little difference, eh. And that difference has to do with the pronunciation of “o”, which gets more distorted and oval shape as one moves north or south from the central equator line on the earth. I just made up that theory, the epxperts probably don’t know it, but that’s because they didn’t bother asking me. :)

As far as accents go, it’s quite a bit different. When it comes to vocabulary, there are some notable differences. For example, in Canadian English, “holiday” can be used interchangeably with “vacation,” but that simply isn’t done in American English. These are pretty insignificant differences, but that is really where Google comes in handy, right? Haha.
