I'm from England and I say mom, not mum. My mom and dad are both english and say mom, as so my nans and grandads. Do any other english people say it?

I had a friend at uni who would say 'mom'. She was born in Birmingham though and her siblings didn't say 'mom', they said 'mum', I think she thought 'mom' sounded better!
I always say 'mam'.

those issues ensue alot - custodial discern abductions. on an analogous time because it truly is a contravention of the court docket order of custody, in actuality, there is little to no longer something you're able to do. you have mentioned it to the right government - police and FBI. They connect with Interpol. the quest starts. a number of those human beings take years to track down, and a few are in no way stumbled on. for sure the lady deliberate this for rather a on an analogous time as, taking her throughout a era while she had custody and ought to get the baby by using immigration with valid custody archives. yet she must be everywhere by utilising now. BTW, legally basically the daddy can handle this. You do unquestionably ought to butt out. provide the daddy your emotional help on an analogous time as he is going by using this. yet you have actually no longer the rest to assert or do in the challenge.

Yes some people do, when people from the West Midlands went to America all those years ago they took our correct spelling with them, hence they use Mom and Mommy because that's what people used in those parts.

No........I've always said mum, my mum would actually probably get p/o if I ever called her "mom" because she doesn't like all this americanisation when this is not the US lol! I've only ever heard people say in England, mum or mam.

You are pretending to be American. I bet the kids at school laugh when you say it. It is a bit pretentious.
