English people saying mom instead of mum

My friends were all baby goats actually. And still are.

This explains a lot.

Particularly why they keep asking for an explanation of the offside rule.

American's say "legos" as opposed to "lego."  I suppose the missing s from maths had to end up somewhere.


Sometime in the late 70's we were visited by some American relatives and I noticed them saying hi instead of hello and I thought it was interesting and adopted that greeting myself.  Not long after my friends were also saying it.  If it's my fault for introducing hi to this country then I'm truly sorry.

Americans these days seem to exclusively say "hey" or "how's it goin" as a greeting. I always say "hey" now because I don't like saying "alright?" and if you say it in America they give you a quizzical look and say "Erm, yeah I'm fine"

I've been following the Louis Theroux method of saying "How are you doing?" and continuing without a pause as if it doesn't need an answer.

You say Louis, we hear Joey.
