Okay... Is that a reference to (US) Fries, or US usage reference to
(UK) Crisps.
Might as well add the confusion of biscuit <> cookie (my biscuits look
like your scones)... And lets not bring up the subject of suspenders...
Bonnets, boots, and lifts.

Well... when we've got states bigger than some countries...
But yeah... I doubt if half the US population even understands what the
"Federal" means in our government.
{I'll take "Oxbridge" over "Bostonian" accent any day... But don't ask me
to make sense of East Ender -- or "valley girl"... Had enough trouble once
in Tennessee with the difference between "Ketchup" and "Catsup"}
