It’s licence not license!

[Heather37231]

I’m so fed up with seeing British people use “license” for driving etc. It’s rife. Nobody seems to realise that’s the US spelling. I blame Olivia Rodrigo.

Got this from Nat West today (you don’t get more British than Nat West).

Lots of talk about “sulfates” amongst UK beauty bloggers.

Quite right too.

another battle that was lost a long time ago amongst young British people is “schedule”- it’s almost universally pronounced “skedule” now.

I still use SH for schedule but never have for 'School' .

We British people have so many contradictions to our language , I don't know how people from other countries manage . Their minds must boggle!

A typical example

Cough (OFF)
Rough (UFF)
Though(OH)
Through (OO)
Bough (OW)

Don't t forget lough 'och'

That's not English.

Yes but we only have "the". No le, la, die, der, das, el, la, etc, having to learn the genders of nouns.

Or tones like Chinese!

I've always called it a driver's licence too. And a train station that I'm informed is incorrect.

If you're American, fair enough. But in the UK it's never ever been called a driver's licence.
Indeed it isn't a train station, it's a railway station.
