The English language can be confusing.
We say ‘rubber’, Americans say ‘eraser’. We say ‘condom’, Americans say ‘rubber’.

An infographic has now been created by Grammar Check pointing out 63 differences between British and American English to help you with translation.

Britain itself can’t agree on whether or not you should have chips on your gravy or where the border between the north and the south is, let alone trying to agree on what to call the evening meal.
