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.
Canadian 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.
