Do us a huge favor and please, don't come back. You'll notice that nobody starts a " I hate Britain" thread, but there are plenty of bitter "little people" that want to bitch about americans...go somewhere else to do that.

I didnt start an I hate american thread. Nor do I hate america. I simply think most people over, say the age of 14 should know what petrol is.

The same difference as between tyre and tire, colour and color.

 

[boolerboy]

elevator = lift
apartment = flat
garbage can = dust bin

there are many many more of these.

edit: you can't expect someone to know them all.
