Also no.

Fries are the thin rubbish ones you get at McDonalds etc.

A proper chip has some girth to it.

Real talk?

Why they insist on referring to 'zero' as 'nought'.

And speaking of the letter Z, why they gotta call it "zed".

They don't.

It comes from the Greek letter "zeta", and over time shifted to "zed", and only later did it change to "zee".

I mean, both sound the same to me. But yours probably makes it easier for those who don't know how to say it yeah.

Also, pedestrian right of way is something Britain does better than America, afaik. We have more rights on the roads (typically) than cars.

Is a good list, for weirdly spelt/said thing.

Except for the ones they got wrong, like Frome. Pronounced like broom not frum
