And why are most people that do this from the UK? Is the use of quotes discouraged in the UK? LOL

Let's see your stats to back this up :p

Yeah. I was wondering about this too...I'm quite sure I use the quote button despite being from the UK :D

Me too :( I feel victimised - hated even :(

Is it 'cause we spell things with S's not Z's? :D

Sorry for making you feel victimized by my late night half asleep rant.

Yes, I did it because of the S's. And the way you guys call a "trunk" a "boot". That's really confusing because I keep boots in my trunk and I put boots on my feet. That's not to say I put my car trunk on my feet.. That would be silly. :)

Don't even get me going about bonnets...

They speak British English and We speak American English, Sure there's some differences, How many? I don't know, At least It's not Australian English or such. :D

Oh and a Bonnet? Here's that's a Hood, But that's where the Ornament used to go. :)

I'm just messing around. I love Brits and the way they talk.

And I'm winning! :)

And we wear our pants under our trousers :p

We also call Trousers, Jeans, As in Blue Jeans or even the more refined Slacks. :D

Lots of words, But I'm getting tired as It's near My bedtime, So I'll sign off for now and hopefully tomorrow I'll have good news here. :D

New Zealand English is hard to understand...

It's letterboxes, jandals instead of sandals, pants and not trousers, 'welly' for Wellington, fish and chips is the most popular takeaway, aussie for Australia, spuds are potatoes, vogels is a type of bread etc.

Slacks are the non-denim trousers worn by women

When I get my speakers fixed I'm gonna search some Newfoundland English for you to listen to. Now thats some difficult english to understand. The Southern drawls of Georgia to Drunken Scottish English is easy compared to the English spoken in Newfoundland.

I thought I knew most US automotive terms i.e bonnet/hood, boot/trunk, bumper/fender, etc but nave plate was a new one on me, I had to look it up to find out it's a hub cap! :-)

I would call those dress pants. But slacks is an acceptable term. It's not limited to women's dress pants.

Here are all of the parts of a suit with their names.

Here It's mailboxes or letterboxes, sandals, You've seen the pants thing so I'll skip that, fish and chips, It's not as common as fish and fries is or nearly as common as a burger and fries is. :D Oh and I think aussies is the same here too.

And It's 39F(4C) outside and there is snow in the mountains above Palmdale CA, Well no swamp-cooler for today(I had It buttoned up all yesterday). And yep the heater is on again, My neighbor said She had to move sooner than agreed to(verbally) and I don't know If that would be easy to do, As She asked if She could use My extra bedroom, Even with most of Her stuff in storage. As I'd have to move a chest of drawers and 3 shelving units into My bedroom and empty the other closet which is only partly full, Of course then I'd need to get rid of an old computer desk, So It would take some effort, to do It quickly I'd need some help. Besides I don't know If I could do It.

I don't think that was in North America.

There's a bunch of fun ones.

A political party's "Platform" in the US is called a "Manifesto" in the UK.

Both are equally fictional.

My all time favorite (or favourite, for those across the pond) is this:

In the US, government initiatives are referred to as PLANS.
In the UK, they are referred to as SCHEMES.

Too right!

Before this thread, I'd never heard of a nave plate, Although that's cause nave in this country(or at least on the west coast) isn't used any. :D
