I HAD TO LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE

Of course there are the obvious differences, they drive on the left side of the road and the policemen wear funny hats. I knew I would have to pay for things with pounds and use the underground to get the tube. I was prepared for the obvious but, the vocabulary I have accumulated in the last 6 years continues to amaze me. I had to learn a new language to get through grad school (compulsory meetings) and to pass my driving test (dipped headlights). I learned a whole bunch of new words while dating (fancy tea?) and throughout my pregnancy (consultants and nappies). My husband and I have made a hobby of noticing these differences and I am giving in to some peer pressure and starting a blog. So, here is our little lexicon of american vrs british english. I literally don't know where to begin.
