• Here are pictures of some English words which
  mean different things in British and American
  English. Do you know what the word is and which
  meaning belongs to which variety of English? For
  example on the first slide the word is vest
  which in British English is worn under your shirt
  and in American English is worn over your shirt.
  In British English a waistcoat is worn over a
  shirt (and usually under a jacket as part of a
  mans suit) and in American English an
  undershirt is worn exactly where you would
  expect.
