there are going to be many synonyms just coming from that.

We have many immigrants in this country, who add a lot to Am English. But
Britain has plenty of immigrants, too.

But I certainly know that Tweed's original
statement, that Am.E hasn't moved on, is *way* off.

Sorry to be so long-winded. We now resume our regular cat
programming...

Too late! Language threads are generally long-lived on this ng. We love
to geek on about it.

I did not make myself clear. What I meant was that English in the
motherland, so to speak, has moved on in a different way from "American"
which was once English and now is a derivative, very similar but not the
same any more as your language has moved on as well.
This is not meant to be insulting as some think, it's just a fact. You
spell things differently, like humor, color and have things called faucets
;-)

No insult perceived or taken by me. I was in England more than once (I love
London!) , and I noticed that you DO have faucets. At least they had them in
my hotel room :-).

If you don't call them faucets, what are they?
