Is this really English?

Recently, well for a while now I've been going through papers and and just tons of things and trying to decide whether or not to: Keep, Donate, or Throw out. The other day as I was clearing out some notebooks and journals I stumbled apon this paper with a list of British and American words - and I thought I'd share them with you incase I've missed telling you about a few we've learned.

Now then - we've all had an education this week and I will continue to try and let you know of new words as we learn them - I'm sure there are some that I've missed. You have to admit - some of these are rather interesting. :-)

Hope you have enjoyed it!
