H. L. Mencken's The American Language has an entire chapter devoted to
differences between American English and British English. Or, in
Mencken's terminology, American and English. I think he repeated the
old saw about how Americans and British are divided by a common
language, but can't find it right now.

"Subway" v. "underground" comes to mind.
