Overview
Why do Americans say “trash” while Brits say “rubbish”? How did American English develop its distinctive accents, expressions, and vocabulary? And how did our version of English eventually make its way back across the Atlantic?
Join Laurence Brown, better known as YouTuber Lost in the Pond, for an entertaining exploration of how American English traveled, evolved, and transformed over more than 400 years. Through stories, historical insights, and plenty of fascinating examples, discover how the words we use every day can reveal the history of the people and places that shaped them.
