Not so much. I simply don't understand, as an American, why Brits keep and add needless extra letters to words. Q is a single letter, for example, yet the word “queue” exists and is pronounced without the vowels.
Makes no sense.

Yes and we english don’t get why you keep adding redundant words to other words
Side walk - where is else? Front walk? Eye glasses - helped me differentiate my liver glasses Waste paper basket - wow. Gas - ITS A FUCKING LIQUID
Then we get to your phrases. Exact same, unexpected surprise, advance warning???, end result. Oh and your love for split infinitives.
I personally think it should make more sense to not get into the uses of the Prodigal Tongue. Languages have differences deal with it.

“Gasoline” from “Cazeline", a British word. Much like “soccer”.

Blame the Department of Redundancy Department, unless you don't understand the reference.
>Oh and your love for split infinitives.
I make a point not to do that. It must have galled Sir Patrick Stewart to say “to boldly go”, but I don't know if you'd know that reference.
>Languages have differences deal with it.
And yet you typed out that whole above comment trying to convince me I'm wrong when I'm not.

You could have stopped right there instead of further humiliating yourself

You don't understand why they write the words the way they invented them?

'rede' 'reed' 'read' 'red' are still words in 'american' english. What have you got to say about that?
