Typically, we are the ones who have changed it, while the older version is preserved in the US, actually. The classic example is Fall for Autumn; Fall was the word in Dr Johnson's dictionary.

Language experts have said that the British accents have evolved more in the last three hundred years than the American so theoretically we Americans are saying everything correctly. Lol
Zebediah:
There was a dialect spoken on the Outer Banks of North Carolina that linguists claimed was virtually identical to the way English was spoken (at least in the south of England) in Shakespeare's time. Alas, this dialect is rapidly dying out, but it was still common among older Outer Banks natives 30 years ago.
Now, the New England dialect is another thing altogether. Nobody claims that this is the way anyone else has spoken anywhere, ever. :-D
Method of Madness:
Whoa, I never realized K1dmor had a hodgatar.

Amanda's rental car: Probably a 2000-2005 Ford Taurus (well, 2000-2007, but the comic was from 2004), shown in 175
Amanda: 1999.5-2005.0 Volkswagen Jetta (VW used to be bad about introducing a new model while the old one was still in production and part-way through a model year, and that's how the enthusiast community deals with it, half model years), shown and stated to be a Jetta in 609
Angus: 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta hatch, shown in 2292
Claire: 2011-2014 Mazda2, shown in 2378
Dale: Another Ford Fiesta hatch, we don't see enough details to tell whether it's a 2011-2013 or 2014-2015, shown in 2496
Raven: 1998-2005 Volkswagen New Beetle TDI, shown in 423, stated as a Bug (not that it was necessary) in 451, implied to be a TDI in 621
Tai: 2003-2005 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon (and an interior shot, and the sunglass holder that gives it away as at least a 2003), shown in 1916

I suspect Jeph owns a Fiesta, really, and uses it as his reference for when he needs a car in QC, because this looks like yet another Fiesta.
