That's Not English. Britishisms, Americanisms and What Our English Says About Us: Erin Moore

In this brilliant transatlantic survival guide, Erin Moore examines the key differences between the British and the Americans through their language.
You`ll discover why Americans give - and take - so many bloody compliments and never, ever say `shall` (well hardly ever), as well as what the British really mean when they say `proper`, why they believe it is better to be bright than clever and how the word sorry has at least eight different meanings for them.
