I always wonder when some of these differences in our language occured. Like,, trucks and lorries. Oh well, makes for interesting reading and some fun discussions.

Anyway, here's a few more American / English differences that might be of interest:

Apartment - Flat
Chopped Beef - Mince
Cookie - Biscuit
Motor Home - Caravan
Muffler - Silencer
Windshield - Windscreen
