Americans also say dungarees, taxi, handbag, mad**, public toilet,.sweets, tap***. timetable****. trousers, We say garden if has flowers or, I think, specially chosen plants, or ?vegetables, I think? but not just for grass and trees. We say pavement but it's broader than the sidewalk. They have some pubs here but I guess they are pretending to be British. A British guy I worked with went to some bar downtown that had darts, but I don't remember if it was called a bar, a pub, ot even a saloon Queue may eventually catch on since it's used in computer-talk, but the page is right, it hasn't yet. We say rubbish once in a while but not for something specific like the Brits do. We definitely say wardrobe and it means what the drawing shows, a closet on legs or wheels. An actualy closet doesn't even have a bottom, other than the floor. And we dont' say flat for apartment, despite what the page syas. **Note: Diary of a mad housewife. ***HOME REPAIR!! ****Maybe not so much anymore but we certainly used to. I put a u in a few words where other Americans only use 'or". I don't know why I do it. IIRC, it was Noah Webster who popularized the removal of the u when he published his dictionary and he promoted other changes too, simplifications, that caught on. Maybe I should call them choices instead of changes because spelling was not standardized, even in the 19th century. I think he also changed centre to center. The successor to his dictionary is the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Despite lawsuits, they were not able to stop the use of Webster as a name for loads of other publications. The New York Daily News and the Chicago Tribune also tried to make changes but I don't think they had many successes. |
