I've learned more Brit English over here in Japan than I ever did in the states. Many of the English teachers are not from the US so the vocabulary used is what their teacher taught them.

I received a compliment on my muffler and immediately looked at my car thinking my friend was being facetious

Was looking for an int'l moving company here with no luck until about 4 weeks into my search I thought to look for REmovers! And there they were

Thought I'd pick up a copy of the first Harry Potter book at a used bookstore here but wasn't sure if the first book was "The Sorcerer's Stone" or "The Philosopher's Stone"? Of course, this bookstore had both available

When a Japanese friend chooses to speak English I often will use both the Brit & US term in a sentence because I am unsure which English they know...such as chemist/pharmacy...

It's been an interesting learning experience
