Comment on It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects
Every dialect has their own words for things
I had associated that with only localization and slang. Didnt realize that was dialect. That being said, you can still understand the words just and get enough cintext to realize you dont say “fanny” in UK
Tbh where the line is between dialects and languages is a hotly debated topic in linguistics, or if there even is a line
