Description: Here's another video in our series with Super Agent Awesome on British and American English word differences. In this video we look at differences like drapes/curtains and barrette/slide and say what we'd call them in British and American English. How do Americans pronounce the word gyro? And what about the word mandatory? I was surprised! Some of the other words we explore in this video include shot/jab, pit/stone, mono/glandular fever. Many thanks to Fernando Butcher for the image of the learner driver which appears in this video.
