Review
Heading to London? Don't forget this handy lingo guide If you're planning a trip to the United Kingdom any time soon, take along a copy of The UK to USA Dictionary - British English vs. American English. This handy, pocket-size guide can help you to avoid embarrassment, as well as solve some of the mysteries which illustrate how Yanks and Brits are separated by a common language. The book includes terms and expressions that differ in British English such as boot for trunk, bonnet for hood, lift for elevator, petrol for gas, trolley for cart, return for round trip and loo for bathroom. Beyond that, it can make entertaining reading on the flight over the North Atlantic. Although the meanings of some of the words in this dictionary may be obvious, others can cause confusion or misunderstanding. For example an acid drop does not refer to illegal drug activities. Acid drop in the UK is a hard candy with a bitter taste. Likewise, an ankle-biter is not an ugly female or male - it's what known as a rug rat in the U.S. A banger is a sausage and bangers and mash are sausages and mashed potatoes. Some slang words are included but their listing does not condone the use of any derogatory or negative expression. It's important to note that spellings will differ such as the British vs. American spellings for centre/center, theatre/theater, civilsed/civilized or realise/realize. Conversion charts are also included. To get you own copy write or call Solitaire Publishing, 1090 S. Chateau Pt., Inverness, FL 34450 (3520 726-5026. and e-mail PSolitaire@aol.com A single copy costs $9.00 and quantity discounts are available. --Tyler Courier-Times-Telegraph

Very enjoyable little dictionary
By Roy Manterfield
I thought I knew most of the discrepancies between these two variations of English, but I found quite a few more in this enjoyable little guide. The extra sections of comparisons and differences are fun too.

British Dictionary
By elephant lover
My family and I have gotten a fun from this book. The grandkids enjoy looking up things to say to each other. This book also helps one to understand some of the English phrases while enjoying the Brit sitcoms and movies.
