LOL, Wow, if they call it a Piizeria in England, that's another reason to be glad to be in the USA. It has been my 'honour' to help you 'realise' that. "Kilometre" "armour" Sorry, Talthy, I've always loved to study the differences between the two dialects. I've told some of you the story of one of my fellow internes (we'd say "Interns") who was a Brit with a lovely Oxbridge accent. One evening we were sitting around the telly (TV) in the house staff lounge, and she asked if we had any "chocolate biscuits." We all started catcalling her, because to us, a 'biscuit' is a bready thing like a scone but not sweet at all, and that sounded terrible to us. She protested, "You know, chocolate biscuits, like Oreos." I always loved her, because she convinced an Anglophile frind that the thing on his car really was an antenna, not a "radio mast."
