Meri, which part of the UK do you come from? I live near Newcastle and they couldn't understand me when I went to America, but that was a long time ago. Thank goodness for the written word.

Some common transatlantic misunderstandings:

Potato crisps: US-Chips/ UK-Crisps.
Mirror: US-Meeerrr/UK-Murrer
UK-Tap/US-Faucet
Pants: UK-Underwear/US-Outerwear

Worse still, a clanger Ann Maurice dropped into conversation on her 'House Doctor' TV show:
Fanny: US-(posterior buttocks)/UK-(ahem...a lady's front bottom).
