American English vs British English


A joke I read long time ago perfectly sums up the difference between American English vs British English.

An American and a Britisher are waiting for an elevator. The elevator arrives and they both get inside and the Britisher says ...."Well it took a long time for the lift to arrive....." the American says..... "it is not called a lift...... it is an elevator because we invented it you see...." to which the Britisher replies....."but we invented the language you see...!!!"
