Why Can't the English?

English to English
In "Why Can't the English?" Higgins bemoans the modern usage of English language. He remarks, "One common language I'm afraid we'll never get." Higgins was right, as you'll see if you check out this Web page that lists a number of words in "American English" and "British English." Can you think of any other English-speaking countries who use expressions that might sound unfamiliar to us? List some of these words and their American "translations" on the chalkboard.
