They need to save their breath for words like 'elevator' and 'apartment'
rather than simply saying 'lift' and 'flat'.

"Lift" and "elevator" are equally misleading...the device in question
goes down as well as up....

I didn't get any points in my French class at school when I was asked to
translate, "une apartemente" into English.* I wrote "an apartment" to
which my (American) French teacher said, "No, that's an American word,
in English please!" which amused me greatly.

"Oh, in that case: 'a hapartment'"....r

Apartment and flat are both wrong. They aren't apart, and they aren't
flat.

Nobody ever asked you that because there is no word like that, you lying
