One of the few things I consciously retain is pronouncing wh- at the beginning of words as a "hw" sound. I still find it weird the American pronunciations of Wales and whales are the same, as are weather and whether

For vocab I mostly code-switch depending on whom I'm talking to: gas vs. petrol, trunk vs. boot, etc.

I also prefer metric measures and use then anytime I think the person I'm talking to grew up with them
