Eddie Izzard - Being Bilingual

Clip from Eddie Izzard's Dress to Kill

now let´s talk a little about language and then we´ll go on

yeah, they say Britain and America are two countries separated by the Atlantic ocean

and it´s true

they say, two languages, they say two countries separated, by a common language, that is what they say

and we do pronounce things in a different way, like for instance,

you say "caterpillar" and we say "caterpillar"

you say aluminum, we say aluminium,

you say "leisure" we say "lie sure ai ei".

You say basil, we say basil, you say erbs and we say herbs.

because there´s a fucking H in it.
