Is Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand English closer to UK or America? I assume Canada is closer to the US while those down south are closer to the UK.

- PrimeMcFly 3y agoIt's weird because the commonwealth countries all still insist on UK spelling, but have become much more American in their slang and actual speech.
- mynegation 3y agoCanadian vocabulary is pretty much the same as American, we say “gas”, not “petrol”, and use “I guess” instead of “I suppose”, but there are still some spelling holdouts, like “centre”, “theatre”, “colour” etc. But spelling of the “tire”, for example, is American, not British.
