I'll get back to the more important points in your recent posts but I can answer this one quickly. I don't think there are many important differences but a few spring to mind. BrE - AmE: Braces - Suspenders Suspenders or suspender belt which hold up stockings (I don't know the AmE equivalent) Trousers - Pants Pants or underpants - Underpants Queue - Line Holiday - Vacation Public holiday or bank holiday - Holiday Herbs - Erbs ;-) Lift - Elevator Chemist's - Drugstore Pavement - Sidewalk Dual carriageway or motorway - Freeway Dressing gown - Robe Nappy - Diaper Dummy - Pacifier Rubber or eraser - Eraser Maths - Math Zed - Zee Full stop - Period Car park - Parking lot Chips - French fries Sweets - Candy Biscuit - Cookie Jam - Jelly Jelly - Jello Courgette - Zucchini Car bonnet - Car hood Car boot - Car trunk Toilet or loo or lavatory - Toilet Tap - Faucet Rubbish - Garbage Football - Soccer American football - Football Torch (the electric type with a bulb) - Flashlight Autumn - Fall (the season) Fish (plural) - Fishes etc. Now I think of it there are quite a lot. Many fuller lists pepper the internet. Over time American words are becoming more used in the UK. Many here would know what American terms mean. There could be some confusion over words which have different meanings such as suspenders or jelly. -- James Harris
