US/British English dilemma Hi there,
I've noticed while going through the dictionary that some words fall into the category of US English while some are defined in British English... My question is: are both US/British English bogus?

Don't forget to look for the tongue in the cheek when you do.

Teacher Re: US/British English dilemma They're real enough, but the lines between them can blur as words and expressions can cross backwards and forwards. Originally Posted by S_J
