Default American/English Dictionary

I found this American British/British American Dictionary and thought some might find it interesting.

Cheers that's ace! There seems to be quite a bit in there about our little language differences, and some stuff about where they came from. I'll have to have a proper look at it.

This is food for thought

I'm tickled pink as this topic is my cup of tea.

When I was in London, several years ago, I found it amusing that the underground (subway) signs say Way Out instead of Exit

:P

No no no, it's your signs that say EXIT instead of WAY OUT

I've had a few conversations with my mum before about why American English is different and how the different American accents have developed away from English and European accents; I think there's some writing in there about that. I love things like this, I've always been into languages and where they come from and how they mix with each other.

Am I that hard to understand that you need a dictionary?

I'm only kidding. I find it very interesting, too.

Well there's something I didn't know, you put the river on the wrong end.

You can't unless you are a moderator; you can delete a thread you started by deleting the first post though.
