Two great nations divided by a common language....

UK			US

prise			pry
spanner			wrench
football			soccer
selector			shifter
colour			color
humour			(no direct translation)*
(no direct translation)*	humor

* things that are funny to the British generally aren't funny to Americans,
and vice versa.  Although Monty Python is universal.  And only the French
like Jerry Lewis.
