I have driven quite a bit Stateside, including from SF to LA which was very pleasant. Mostly I spent 3-6 weeks at a time in Canada - about 10 miles from the US border, so I drove a lot there. Actually never crossed the border there.Myself and my girlfriend went to England once, rented a car in London to drive through the countryside. It took me awhile to get the hang of driving on the wrong side.
I was in a place called Valleyfield, south of Montreal. I learned how to speak Canadian English (or American). You put a little finger in each side of your mouth, pull them apart, and speak French as usual.I know some folks in a motorcycle club who went into Canada and ran into
Dudley Doright. No trouble just checking things out. No problems at the border either .

I never knew this:
Learnt and learned are both used as the past participle and past tense of the verb to learn. Learned is the generally accepted spelling in the United States and Canada, while the rest of the English-speaking world seems to prefer learnt.
Yep, I have rarely even seen the use of "learnt", except with folks from the UK. This is often assumed, erroneously, to be an improper use of "learned".I never knew this:

I’m guessing... “ta, ta for now”?It doesn't mean anything bad. Only a fairwell.
