How do you differentiate British, Australian, & Canadian people from Americans

I'm not quite sure what you're looking for, and I know nothing of any syndorme. I guess the first thing I would say are the accents. They all speak slightly differently, and some words may have different meanings. Of course, customs would be different. Also, I guess some beliefs and ways of thinking would vary. However, if a group of these people were standing quietly together, you would not be able to tell where any of them came from.

AS my experience before working in an International Restaurant. British are generous in giving TIP. American are second one, when you give them good service they will give you good tip also .Australian is not a generous one. no matter how good your service is they don't appreciate it.When in terms of money they don't like giving it as a reward for kindness. that's what i and my co workers notice for working for almost 2 yrs .

hi Danzylop well I am an American and I say I am using the elevator but Brits and Au usies will use lifts instead.Americans are friendly an open and free going, Brits are more uptight , more prim and proper. Aussies are very friendly.Canadians I am not too familiar with but could have some of the s ame terms as the Brits We say we use gas in our cars the Brits and Aussies say petrol we use Fahrenheit they use metric, we honor someone they honour someone.We go to movies ther brits go to the Cinema.If I I am mistaken the hood of a ca r in Brittan is the bonnet? We California s are laid back b ut the Aussie are even more so. The Brits are more prim and proper.WE Americans are always friendly, the Brits are much m ore reserved and warm up gradually.I eat oatmeal they eat rolled oats. hope this helps. Oh yes we use miles the rest used kilometers. they also drive on the wrong side of the road. Unlike we Americans. As for syndrome you lost me there with Shaver and Seyva Counter and counts I have no idea what you mean. I am an American who l ives in C"alifornia and have never used those terms at all.

There is a fairly simple way, in general terms to "tell the difference". There are, of course, different extents to which the principle applies, normally location-dependant within the continent. The British accent is spoken with the front of the mouth, the American accent is with the back of the mouth while the Australian accent is spoken from the middle of the mouth. It is difficult for either Americans or the English to simulate an Aussie accent without a lot of practice & time, but is much easier for an Australian to pass off either an English or American accent. We have just as many good actors who were born & bred here that have, according to their critics, passed convincingly in their roles as either British or Americans whilst acting overseas.

How about starting with their history first! And after that culture and behaviour, attitude, habits. There is a big difference between them.

I think when you refer to the "R" syndrome you're referring to different ways people say the same words. These are known as accents. While it's true people from different countries have different accents, it's also true that there are many natural accents within the United States. If you are familiar with the accents, it's possible to tell what part of the country someone comes from by the way they speak. Also, just because someone speaks with an Australian accent, it doesn't mean they're living in Australia. So I don't think knowledge of the accents will help you a lot. Anything determined by the way they speak has this second problem. There are things that are common to each group, but that in no way determines current location or current factors that would effect the way they perceive things. What difference does it make anyway? I don't know what type of call center you're in, but if an American has a problem with their computer, wouldn't it be the same solution as you would give to an Australian with the same problem?

Im American and I do have friends from all three. The difference is subtle.Us Yanks are more bold and expressive. We will tell it like it is, mostly no bullsh!t. The Austraians and bold too but they seem to be more private when comes to certain things. The Candadians' accent is a mixture of American and English. They seem to be more easy going. And The British are the most private and reserved unless there is a soccer match. Then they become as bold as us Yanks. This is all general statements. You will find a reserved Yank, a Bold Englishman , and a open Aussie and a uptight Canadaian. People are people.

Yes, you can tell the different accent between them. Besides, some words are especially used in UK and some are used in US. For example, British will use the word "lift" and Americans probably will say "elevator".

definietly sure you can distinguish british from americans on their accents. some australians have a hardtime speaking english and you will have to ask him if he's one. im having difficulty distinguishing a canadian from an american. i thought my friend steve was an american. also my friend jim was a canadian not american.

the world is a village, why do we have to make clear that who comes from from?

I would say we all use different words for the same things, like in America we say elevator and in England they say lift. The most obvious difference would be the accent.

I'm not sure if the 'R' syndrome is a phenomena regarding three different countries or English styles. You picked on something based on different individual's interpretation. Someone else can put something like t or d. Other people can pick up on twing, twang, twong (which is not specific enough). In the end, comparing four major English speaking countries would be such a huge task. Thankfully, you can always look up online. Hopefully, you are not doing a research paper. If you are, you need to be more specific. If not, you're going to need to write a BOOK or an unnecessary encyclopaedia (since there has been some already). Generally, these countries have the majority of White population. Historic wise, they all came from Europe. Without elaborating too much, migration in the past to US, Canada, and Australia made settlers going through struggle, changes, evolution, adoption, adjustment, etc. One involve English language. Today, we heard different accent. American accent or should I say 'North American' accent is more popular since movies produced in Hollywood spread around the globe and teach people how to say curse words, slangs, etc). Also, TV shows produced in the US have been shown in many countries. Because of the success of entertainment in the US, you would find that there are many actors, actresses, singers, and any other entertainers coming to US to achieve success. Nowadays, you would get to listen to different types of accents in movies and TV shows. You can also find different types of accents through YouTube to help you out. The word 'American' has been used to describe people living in the US, while the word 'America' actually spans from North to South America. At a glance, there appears to be no difference between Canadian and people living in the US. Most Canadians speak English like many in the Midwest or many other parts of US. I don't think there are Canadians that speak like some people living in the Southern US (Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, etc) with distinct accent. In the US itself, almost every state has different accent.

hi, for me British and Americans have really difference such as the accent of their words and languages,British are more fluent in English and even their diction is more nice compare to the American,though the words of British are very slang compare to the American.

I guess the most noticeable things a re the accent and the spelling. Australian and perhaps Canadian spelling mostly derived from British English since it the original English language. When ti comes to tone, British English has a more formal tone to it and you really need to hear it with the accent. American English have neutral accent unless you are talking to someone from the South like Texas. However, Australian and Canadian have their own slang,idioms, expressions and colloquialism. Do remember that these English'es' have their won quirks. If you are talking about people, that's another can of worms.

Hi... The basic difference is their accent... All of them, have huge differences when it comes to accent.. Americans speak clear and roll their 'r's... British people speak clear too, but they almost hide their 'r's... I'm not sure how Canadians and Austrailians go... But i've heard them and I can tell their accents vary a lot... Americans favor personal values first... Nothing's more important than their personal space and freedom... I really like this trait of an American...

It seems that you are thinking about English speaking people. If so, why didn't you include the Brits where the language originated? Not all Canadians speak English, nor do all Americans. I think that the common thread has been a faith in the supreme being. However, that seems to be changing, which is for the worse. You asked for difference. We do speak with different accents and have some different habits, but I think that we are really more alike than different.

I know that the person is an American if I understands how he/she speaks . If I understand him a little bit, then he is an Australian. If I cannot understand him, he might be New Zea lander or a British My thoughts only!

may be the way they speak they have different accent

The first thing that will give away is their accent.British have their peculiar accent and their use of words.They differ markedly from Americans.They use proper English and not much of a slang difference within the country.Australians have their cheesy slang and you can make it out easily.Canadians have similar accent to the Americans.But you can always ask them about their country.Maybe,not directly,but with indirect questions.I watch a lot of English series and I could make them out from their accent and slang.

You can easily distinguish them by their accent. British and Australian have almost the same accent because during the old time Australia was a prison ground for British people, whlie Americans have neutral to fast accent.
