They certainly know how to shorten words, which can be a good thing, and there are some American words where I think their version makes a lot more sense than ours, like trunk for instance (ie vs boot)... as in the trunks they used to put on the back of stage coaches... makes much more sense carrying that analogy over to cars than using the word boot... but then I don't know where that comes from.
Do you use Fahrenheit or Celsius?I think the US is one of the few countries who refuses to use Celsius.
I've never used Fahrenheit in my life... I don't have the foggiest what anything is in that.
