Worst thread ever, heheh

Umm... give me an example. I don´t know how to tell them apart now!
E.g.:

Lift / Elevator
Pavement / Sidewalk
Civilisation / Civilization (and pretty much all -ise and -ize endings)
Colour / Color (same thing with these endings)

and myriads of others, I just can't remember any others right now.

I actively try to stick to the British versions, but it's so easy to lapse into Americanisms because majority of the TV crap I watch is made in America, hence more exposure.


British English is, hmm, more polite and refined. Yanks are sloppy.

Have you got a car? (British) / Do you have a car? (American)
At the weekend (British) / On the weekend (American)
Write to me soon (British) / Write me soon (American)

Americans also take English words and alter their meaning. "Pissed", for example. Americans think being pissed equals to being angry, whereas Brits will think you're heavily drunk. Also, "a fag."
 
It´s coming again!! weekend withOUT internet. I need some pills soon! :yell:

276. What would be the best place to go on a first date?
277. You are thinking/watching something disgusting. Where do you feel it? ( if you´re not quite getting this, I mean my ass and lower back tingle in situations like these)

272. Your opinion on beanies? (I mean those hats that have something written on the front) - I don't know exactly what kind of hat you mean, but in general I think hats don't really have much purpose in everyday life.
273. How many dictionaries you have and what language they are about? - I don't have any myself, but in the house are a few French-English-French ones, one Spanish-English-Spanish, and one Dutch-English (but not English-Dutch :err: ). I've been meaning to get a Finnish-English-Finnish one for ages now but I can't find any in town and I don't particularly trust buying such things online.

278. How old were you when you spoke out your first curse word? - I have no idea. Probably not too young though, when I can remember swearing at a younger age I was always scared someone would overhear.
279. What have you tried once and never will again? - Getting over my fear of spiders.
80. Who do you pity? - If I say myself, will you kill me?? :erk:
