Wow, this far without...
Lift = Elevator
That one always cracked me up when my English friend in 5th grade would use it. Oh, what about...
Naught = Zero
"Zed" = "Zee"
Those two caused me big trouble in College Calculus. Our Professor was a South African Dutch and I could barely understand what he was saying when he was speaking English... much less explaining Calculus.
And I was always under the impression that "waDur" was not American, but a New Jersey thing... or am I confusing that with "Wudder".
