Did you know these differences? Are there others that you think is important to know?
When I was young, I attended a British International school until I graduated High School. After that, I moved to the U.S. and had to learn all these new vocabularies for words that meant the same things . There were countless times where I'd received weird looks because I used "lift" instead of "elevator" or "toilet" instead of "restroom." I'm hoping that this chart will help you understand and learn some common differences. It's always helpful to learn some of these differences so that we can understand people better.

I do wish people would do a little home work before making posts. Truck, Cookie, Vacuum cleaner and Sweater are also used in British.
