Are there any differences between "can" and "tin"? Do they differ in sorts of material or maybe they are for certain product or just synonyms?

Question

Answer

They mean the same thing. "Tin" is used in British English and "can" is used in American English.

Sometimes, you'll hear "tin can", which describes the material the can is made out of, but is also used when you talk about using a can for target practice.

I will like up three tin cans. See how many you can shoot.
