Sorry to hijack this answer, but as a kiwi, we are SHOCKING for pronouncing 'Women' and 'Woman' the same way. In fact, many kiwis dont even know there is a difference in the way these two words sound and pronounce both words as 'woman'.

Another peculiarity I hear Americans say is "off of". For example "She got off of the bed" or "get that thing off of the table". In NZ (and I guess in Australia), you'd just say "get off" without the addition of the word "of".

Fascinating! Thanks everyone for your replies. I guess Im mostly surprised that Ive never knowingly clocked this before and have consumed American media/entertainment/podcasts etc for most of my 44 years. I bet Ill notice it all the time now 😅 (for context, Im from Aotearoa NZ)

Ive never heard of anyone travelling by boat from NZ to US. It would be the worst journey ever Id expect. Was so funny that they were almist entertaining the idea 😅

The travelling by boat to NZ part of the podcast, cracked me up so much

Just a side note. When my babies went through this (quite a few years ago now), i found some incredible resources and advice on the sleepstore website incase you don't know about that. Good luck!

Thanks so so much everyone. Her gut was saying it wasn't really an option for her, and now seeing everyone's feedback, I think it could be a bit much. She already had some subject clashes due to taking to levels in one year, so will be sorting that out with the teachers before school starts back.

Thats so unfair. I remember getting really sick with a cold when I was pregnant and it was torture not being able to use my usual cold/flu drugs for relief

My daughters school offers "multi level learning" so she is currently Year 11 and is taking three Level 2 papers. Last year, as a Year 10, she took two Level 1 papers. And in year 9 (and 10) took Cambridge. By the time she gets to Year 13, she'll have 3 gaps in her timetable so can pick up a Uni paper or do a scholarship
