 American vs. British English source: AskOxford: Types of World English Does it mean that billboard = hoarding, gas = petrol, truck = lorry and wrench = spanner? I don't understand that gas is the American equivalent for British petrol... I thought that gas is gaseous, while petrol is fluid... Is it really the same? |

| Re: American vs. British English Yes. In that order. You're correct. As for "gas" and "petrol", it's the stuff you put in your car.  All the best.  |
