In the states one time working and I asked a colleague where the toilet was. He looked at me gone out and explained where the bathroom was. Unsurprisingly when I got there, I found a toilet and no bath.  |

We don't spell it aluminium. We spell it aluminum. It was the original spelling. It later got changed to aluminium to make it more consistent with the rest of the periodic table, but we (Americans) kept the original spelling. |

Goes out and replaces the boot on their vehicle, gulp "
It's called a boot here, cos in days of horse and carriage, there was a rack on the back with largest shelf for luggage at the bottom a big leather cover laced up the middle that made it look like a boot snd the name stuck, American 'trunk' was from a large trunk on the roof of stage coaches  |
