Who is Wrong? part I

[@lestersnyder4557]

Never heard of a Christmas cracker. When you said it I thought you meant something to eat like a cookie. We definitely don't do things like fireworks on Christmas, only New years and the 4th of July. Also as far as your new content, any time we get to see you happy and smiling my day goes a little bit better and life is less mundane.

[@johnlake4809]

Gitana, your effervescent personality, contrasted against your hubby's deadpan always makes me smile. I'm terminally ill, smiles are worth more than they used to be. Thank you so much!

[@GitanaAdelle]

I appreciate you very much! I’m sending you all my love ❤

[@wilfordcrowe]

Hey John I'll be praying for you. Hang in there as long as you can. You've got a lot of friends and support . If you need to chat I'm always here for you. Much Blessings to you and your Family.

[@stephentimm4417]

John I’m so sorry. I have some experience with family members with a terminal illness. So I can understand what you’re going through. I will be praying for you my friend. Hang in there and cherish each day. 😢❤

[@Michael_Rega]

I think a video about the neighborhoods you grew up in would be amazing and really interesting to us in the U.S.!

[@wilfordcrowe]

Never heard of Christmas Crackers, sounds like fun. The first thing I thought of when you said that was your version of Christmas Cookies. I love Traditions.

[@wilfordcrowe]

I liked finding out about how the two countries are different . It's fun learning about UK and USA , enjoyed it.

[@GitanaAdelle]

Thank you!

[@genevievemoore1856]

[@garyemagee7177]

I loved this ! And I also had never heard of Christmas crackers.

[@williammaloney9943]

Nice to know your not quiting♥ had a great Christmas and a good New Year. Looking forward to seeing you for a new year♥♥♥🇺🇸

[@karlalebrun443]

I love all your content. We came here for your personality. Your personality makes all of your content great. So do whatever content makes you happen and I will still watch.

Ah this is so kind thank you 😊❤

[@robertdocholliday66sadler]

you refresh my day every time i see you Gitana

[@GitanaAdelle]

Aaaahhhhh thank you 🙏

[@mstephey2]

I'm in my 50's and never heard of Christmas crackers. I was expecting it to be edible.

[@kerrypierre9494]

Same here, looks to be a fun addition though 👍🇺🇸

[@Michael_Rega]

Growing up on the east coast we had “Christmas crackers” but they were not a super big thing, more like little holiday things. I think target called them holiday poppers.

[@GitanaAdelle]

Hahaha holiday poppers😂❤

[@bryanhutton206]

I've lived from the east coast to the west coast here in the US.I've never heard of Christmas crackers.

[@mattbrentlinger1078]

Still a nut in the new year! Good job! Lol Spent a week in Dublin a couple years ago and the language differences were good fun.

[@michellepelletier519]

Love the new you ❤️

[@toddyoung7681]

I enjoyed that!

[@BoxerRick]

I loved this, girl! Before I ever traveled, I always figured England would be the country most like the US since we both spoke the language, common roots etc. But I was very surprised. In the North, I had a lot of trouble just talking to folks. My girlfriend, who was from Devon I think, used a term” Carrot Crunchers “ to describe the way they talked. It cracks me up to this day. How I get ripped on for my hillbilly accent I guess

[@GitanaAdelle]

Oh the variety is actually so much fun!

[@BoxerRick]

@@GitanaAdelle Oh yea. I tell people all the time in America you can drive a state or 2 away and it almost seems like another country. 😉

[@flyntplatz3724]

I am in Canada, and We HAVE Christmas Crackers here.... Love all your content.

[@paulmartin2348]

In the U.S. and Canada we adapted the spelling "Aluminum" in 1925. The rest of the world spells this word "Aluminium". As a machinist I actually had to look this up in the past to understand why people said this. (it's a miss-spelling not a miss-pronunciation) The truth is officially your spelling is correct by international standard. (we don't really care much about what other people do if you hadn't noticed) 😀

[@MrFuzzy1953]

This was fun. Yes, we pronounce some words much differently from each other. We also have completely different words for common items and foods. You touched on a few of them. My wife's family tree goes back to England and Scotland, so she does explain a lot of the terms and words I don't understand. It usually just leaves me scratching my head, lol. Anyway, you're fun as always. Thank you.

[@scottdarden3091]

I've never had a waiter bring my bill without asking if I want anything else. You always have to ask for it.

[@Gutslinger]

I spent a few minutes of this video thinking "Christmas Crackers" were some kind of food cracker. 😂

[@wilfordcrowe]

My Holidays were great and I'm ready for 2023 to get started, hopefully it will be better than the last.

[@toddyoung7681]

A suggestion. The first ever recorded medal of honor

[@crystallynnesmilezz7682]

Lol we have stores where we have to pay to use a shopping cart. Many of them in fact

[@Gutslinger]

Lost in the Pond has some great videos on the differences between America and Britain. He's a Brit who moved to America long ago.

[@protonneutron9046]

I'd love to get a nice narrow boat and cruise the canals all spring and summer. Going to beaches of Cornwall, watching the babes while eating great fish and chips is something everyone should experience.

[@Gutslinger]

I imagine the "Rushed vs Less Rushed" is an City/Urban vs Rural thing. I'm in rural America, and don't really experience being rushed, outside of maybe the highway. Edit: 20:16 I've been corrected, apparently. Lol

[@louiswillhauck5572]

They don’t bring it early unless someone at the table signals the waiter/waitress in the US. Then again I’m southern so we KNOW HOSPITALITY 😉👍

[@jamestipton5644]

love this

[@GitanaAdelle]

Thank you!!! I’m so glad 😀

[@seannaobrien4145]

We missed you Gitana

[@GitanaAdelle]

I’ve missed you all so much too! Truly 💓

[@ChrisDavis-dt6xx]

Happy New Years, beautiful beaver

[@GitanaAdelle]

😂 happy new years

[@jerrymiller3944]

It was fun my friend. No Christmas crackers in the US. I believe it's a good idea.

[@dblev2019]

Regarding healthcare, in the words of Thomas Sowell, “There are no solutions, there are only trade offs”. The question then becomes do you want to pay for expensive healthcare that eliminates waiting lists, delays, or rationing? Or would you rather have “free” healthcare, and deal with the inefficiencies of a bureaucracy? Many people want this magic solution which doesn’t exist, but healthcare services aren’t cheap nor is the time, training, and education it takes to become a doctor or nurse. I find many people in the US don’t think logically on this issue, they fail to see the reasons healthcare is so expensive. Furthermore every time the government tries to fix healthcare they seem to only make it more cumbersome and expensive.

[@oxx00111]

In 1920 the United States had adopted the spelling and pronunciation as "Aluminum". Generally speaking the British spelling was used in scientific matters, while in everyday conversation the U.S. spelling was considered "proper English".

[@michellelewis7665]

The waiter/waitress will sometimes bring your bill out as soon as it looks like you're finishing, but if they're good at their job, they'll generally ask if there's anything else you need/want first. If you change your mind, it's not overly difficult to tack it on to the bill. Unless the restaurant is really busy or your waitperson is a jerk, I don't think they bring the bill out to rush you out the door as much as it's so that, when you're ready to leave, you have already taken care of paying your bill and don't have to wait to leave. I do live more towards the south, though and a lot of us run on a different time down here, lol! Christmas crackers are not a thing here in the US but anyone who has ever read or seen Harry Potter has at least heard of them, even if they don't recall that. I guess stockings are our Christmas crackers, of sorts, over here? Kind of? Hell if I know.

[@allenricketts1467]

Check out Lost in the Pond videos. Lawrence does a great job with US/UK comparisons.

[@benjaminrogers0524]

There is no wrong or right, it just depends on where you're from. Here in the the US, we dropped the second i, and say aluminum, instead of aluminium. It's not just a matter of pronunciation, its also different spelling.

[@wilfordcrowe]

One day on your show, if you can, I'd love to see a video tour of your house, but only the rooms that you can show, but if you can't, that's fine. I just wanted to see more of your house than the room where you do your show from. Just thought it would be nice.

[@williamvanhoozer4554]

CHRISTMAS CRACKERS? The first thing I thought of was Christmas Cookies or some sort of Christmas candies? Not like the Firecrackers we have for the 4th of July this sounds like fun. I'm learning about the differences between the U.K. vs the U.S. You'll have to demonstrate the Christmas Crackers. Thank You so very much

[@louijames567]

No Christmas crackers here in the US never heard of this before this video. Thanks for the info 👍

[@teepat5487]

I have private health insurance in the US and it can take me almost a month to see a doctor unless I go to the emergency room, and I have decent health insurance. There has got to be a middle ground, and I think it requires regular people to get organized and refuse to let either corporate or government power to become complacent or corrupt. At the end of the day, I don't think there's really any difference between corporate and government power.

[@bernardcoombs1778]

The only time I get FREE refills is at movie theaters. BTW, I'm American. Also, when it comes to pronunciation, the words School and Schedule have the SAME first 3 letters; yet going by the way British say it you'd think the c in "schedule" was silent.

[@scottdarden3091]

Never heard of a Christmas cracker 😂

[@Gutslinger]

15:57 That accent is so trippy to me.. At first I thought she was Australian. But I think she has a southern accent (perhaps Georgia) and it's soaked in a little of the British accent.. It's so weird.

[@dougel4709]

This was fun. I like hearing about cultural differences. I think doing other countries would too would be a great idea. I bet Donovan could chime in with some South African comparisons. Christmas crackers... never heard of 'em. I was sure you were talking about some kind of snack. like a cookie vs biscuit thing. And as for USA TV shows, and with as country/southern as you are, if you haven't, you gotta check out Duck Dynasty!!

[@Collectthefunk]

That was fun! Nope. Never heard of Christmas crackers. I thought you must mean crackers n cheese or something. Lol. Sounds like a confetti type thing?

[@billy_h_bonney2097]

aluminum pronounce at it spelled, herbs the h is silent in america

[@oscarlinebaugh8930]

We don't have Christmas crackers in the US, as a rule. There are always exceptions. Some people may have them. Enjoyed the video! This is the first time I've heard a Brit say the NHS isn't that great. I think Canada is the same.

[@kimberlyelrod9330]

We don't have Christmas crackers here in the US.

[@TheBachBabe]

The UK's "free health care" is far from free. Like the lady said, people in the UK pay into it their entire working life.

[@roylong8246]

Happy new year!! Hope you are doing well

[@johnwillis4706]

No Christmas crackers in the US. Never heard of them until I was in England in the Army in the 1960's. Hilarious video Gitana, I'd nearly forgotten the funny differences between our countries. Nobody is wrong, it's just geographical differences.

[@rickrack4812]

I want to hear you say HELLOOOOOooooooo, like Mrs Doubtfire , and with your British accent

Aaahhh it’s been a while, ok I’ll make sure I do it 😅

I second that wholeheartedly!!!😃😃😃

[@kerrypierre9494]

Fun video pretty lady, how about a vid of the different slang used 👍🇺🇸🤘🔥

[@thomasschmidt1836]

Christmas crackers aren't a thing or "tradition". That being said, I'm sure there are some that partake and with Amazon etc, they can likely be gotten. The Aluminium/Aluminum "debate" was settled "officially" years ago when the International Federation of Sciences held a vote and chose "Aluminium" yet most Americans were and still are stuck in their ways and continue to pronounce it "Aluminum"

[@CharlesClark-jq6sb]

By the laws of economics, when a good or service is "free" such as healthcare, it must be rationed. By its nature it suffers in quality. There is no way around that fact.

[@jamesblanton3744]

I live in the south and we don’t do rushed she was either west coast or north east US

[@jasonmartin2612]

First time ever hearing of Christmas Crackers. Sounds interesting 🤔

[@rickrack4812]

Healthcare and USA changed. Since Obamacare protocols got pushed through, which are more concerned with paperwork and records, which attribute to 30% of the healthcare cost, it has gotten worse. It takes you usually 2 to 6 months to be seen initially and yes you may get a scan rapidly within a week or two if serious, but if you want to get something like a upper GI endoscopy, you have to wait a couple months to get an initial appointment and processed into the system with that specialist, and also then wait two to three months before you can get the actual procedure these days. That is horrible and unconscionable. And now USA is like the rest of the world for the most part.

[@scottdarden3091]

Love you and the British people. But right now I find myself arguing with several on KZbin that did not like the way the British were portrayed in the movie The Patriot.

[@jeffh4027]

You look at prices of our fees insurance don't pay...people loose houses because of surgeries. In the usa

[@larrysheppard42]

As for the health care, I have heard people from the UK, Germany, Japan, Australia, and Canada come to the US for the health care. One woman had her father come to the US for cancer treatment because his wait was two years for Canadian care. I am one of the lucky ones who spent 20+ years in the US Military, I get care for myself and wife at a very reduced cost ($145.00 per month). Depending on the restaurant, you are given the bill when the staff believes you are done, otherwise you have to ask for it. That also depends on how busy it is. Christmas Crackers are NOT a thing in the US. People from countries that they are common in, will have a friend/family member send them over. Tins of candy or chocolate is a thing from my grandparents (lost favor in the late 1970's to early 1980's). How about react to Hill Street Blues (tv show)?

[@Gutslinger]

I want to speak upon the differing pronunciations, but I can't project the differing sounds through a comment. Lol

[@kingkalous727]

Never even heard of Christmas cracker

[@davidsanders5788]

Never seen Christmas crackers in Tennessee

[@donnilloyd1355]

I'm loving this. But, it boils down to OPINION. Except for the language difference. The UK and the USA speak ENGLISH. But the/we are taught differently. Herbs is the best example of this. In the USA, schools teach us that the H is silent. In the UK, schools teach us the the H is NOT silent and sounded out. The 2 Countries speak the same language, but the TEACHERS or People have different opinions. Plkain and Simple,,,,, when you ask somebody with an opinion. It is really funny when you think about it. And I'm gonna watch part 2, just not right now. But THANK YOU!!! Great Post, Gitana. 🤣🤣🤣

The physicist who discovered aluminum said it the way the United States says it. Since he discovered it his pronunciation is the way it should be said. But in the end who really cares. We say advertisement both ways. The only time I have seen a Christmas Cracker in US in watching Doctor Who. I really enjoyed the clips, do some more.

[@scottdarden3091]

You do pay for your NHS. In Taxes no government has monies that do not come from the citizens! So nothing any government provides is free!!!!

[@FormerTrucker]

The phone thing if you're out with friends or something if they're always using the phone and not having a conversation with you that's something I would consider to be rude that may be what she's talking about. On the healthcare here I have Medicare and Medicaid. As far as eating out most of the time they bring the bill to the table but that's only after they ask you do you need anything else.

[@rickrack4812]

Healthcare is never ever free ... and you pay for what you get, or should I say you get what you pay for. NHS is paid through taxes, so it is fee deferred, not free.

ALUMINUM was an original ENGLISH Word starting in the 1800s ..It was pronounced like Americans pronounce it now and spelled like like it as well ..Then it went to Alu mini um .. My American parents pronounced Herbs with the H but the older I got the more I heard ERBS every where else in the US .. Lost in the Pond said Northern English do the same anyways with the H like Haircut is Aircut ..Like you saying Advertisement like Americans do vice versa ,different regions say words in different ways in every country. .
