Description
The AMGLISH Dictionary: A Guide to the Language Divide When traveling across the Atlantic, visitors from one English-speaking nation may find themselves perplexed by the differences in language between their home country and that of their destination. From using the bathroom to ordering food, these cultural nuances can be both amusing and frustrating. This concise guide explores the common language barriers that exist between American and British English, providing insight into why certain words and phrases are used differently on either side of the Atlantic. Edited and abridged from Mike Powell's book AMGLISH: Two Nations Divided by a Common Language, this dictionary offers a lighthearted look at the quirks of language that divide us. With its engaging tone and accessible explanations, The AMGLISH Dictionary is an ideal resource for anyone looking to better understand the complexities of English language usage.
