I used to notice the differences initially when I came here, but now I notice them in British or Indian English (like when I read or hear word lorry,I wonder "why its called lorry and not truck " than the other way round)..Looks like time to make a trip to India.<br /> <br />I found more of such kind in this link http://esl.about.com/library/vocabulary/blbritam.htm Very Interesting compilation.

The only excpetion in US I know of to the center/centre is a place spelled Centreville,VA (Northern Virginians can instantly relate to this.) instead of Centerville.

The American word “Canola Oil” for British word “rapeseed oil” (I should say Commonwealth countries instead of British) is preferable to me.If somebody uses the word Faucet instead of Tap that gives him away as an American.

In India the vegetable called Brinjal is called EggPlant here which is called “aubergine” in England.

Thanks to this I have also found a topic to blog about.(The Indian English)
