 Re: Divided by a common language
In America:
Men who cut other men's hair are usually called barbers; all others can be called hairdressers.
Rubbish bins are usually trash cans or garbage cans.
Housework is still housework.
I'm not sure what is being washed in the British expression "washing up," but when Americans "wash up" we are usually referring to washing our hands and faces. |
