We all do from time to time, so I agree, no need to get upset.

Wow, all this culture talk has made me want to visit the UK. But I can't even afford my text books right now, so maybe several decades from now...

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Gaffer, where in the US do you live? You can get a round-trip ticket from LAX to London right now for about $250. I'll show you all the cool stuff.

War does not make one great.

In America we say "vacation." England they say "holiday."
- True

We say "truck." They say "lorie."
We say "Semi-truck." They say "reticulated lorie."
- Not quite - What you call a truck, we would also call a truck, OR a Lorry (note the spelling). What you call a Semi, we call an ARTICULATED Lorry( which just means the cab moves seperately from the trailer). But nobody says articulated, everybody just says Lorry, whatever kind it is.

We say "french fries." They say "chips."
-True. And what you call chips, we call crisps

We say "soccer." They say "football."
Wrong. The name of the game is and always has been Footbal. YOU call it 'soccer'

We say "baby stroller." They say "pramulator."
-Not really. We call it a buggy or the old style ones like in the cartoons we would call that a Pram (which is short for Pramulator but nobody says that)

We say "gas station." They say "petrol station."
-True. We call it Petrol (short for Petroleum) while you guys call it Gas (short for gasoline)

We say "piece of paper." They say "piece of parchment."
Definitely wrong. We call it a piece of paper. What do you think England is? A time warp to the 1700s?




We in the UK say "Trousers". They say "Pants" (Pants for us is what we wear under our trousers)

We say "mum" - They say "mom"

Just thought I'd add that

I live in Mississippi. And that sounds really cool, but I don't really have much more than $250 in my checking account right now, I'm sad to say. I wasn't able to find a job over Christmas vacation. Thank goodness for college scholarships, but I'll just have to see how my financial situation pans out first. Thanks, though.
