British and Americans both speak English, but they use different terms for many things. Here are some common word differences that I know. American / British sidewalk / pavement eraser / rubber bathing suit/ swimming costume candy / sweet note / bill vacation / holiday mail / post If there are other words that you know, please share. Thank you. =)
