Absolutely - if anything, there’s a reluctance to use formal titles in the UK in general.

I used to teach at university - students and staff alike just use first names when addressing each other. When signing emails, we just use our first name, no letters, job title, anything.

It’s even something specifically touched on in our orientation guide for foreign students.

As for newspapers and Prime Ministers specifically, one of the biggest newspapers, The Guardian, has a cartoonist who has always drawn David Cameron with a condom covering his head. There’s absolutely no deference shown to Prime Ministers here.

Ayyyyyyy-ch P Sauce.

Look, here’s an example - first verse “Earth has one moon”

I’m English, so “Won” rhymes with “un”. “One” rhymes with “on”.

I’m English (northern), and “one” rhymes with “on”, not “un”.

Honestly, I’ve never noticed any British accents that pronounce it differently than that, but I guess it’s not Impossible.

It took me a little time to get this, then it reminded me of something I never really got from the film That Thing You Do.

Does “1” actually sound like “wun” to American ears? As in with a “u” vowel, not an “o” vowel?

absorbing

adjective

UK  /əbˈzɔː.bɪŋ/ US  /əbˈzɔːr.bɪŋ/

Something that is absorbing is very interesting and keeps your attention:

I read her last novel and found it very absorbing.
