Well I work for an American company and we are certainly divided by a common language at times.Kittwazzer wrote:In a hotel lobby, I once asked an American lady if she'd pressed the button for the lift.

I told her that we call it a lift.
She pointed out that America invented the elevator.
I told her again its called a lift and we invented the language!

Whet gets me though is when British people adopt Americanism's. One of my pet hates is how people say the year out loud.
For me 2013 is said "Two-thousand and thirteen". Americans would say "Two-thousand Thirteen".
If you don't want to use "Two-thousand" you say "Twenty Thirteen".
