Don't whinge!

Um, I thought that I spoke english...until I got quizzical looks from Americans... often! Picking on the foreigner is so easy ;)

So I thought I'd get some down before I forget all about it (feel free to add more in the coments - ok, I know that you will anyway!):

(US) Pretty many=a lot
(US) Needs fixed=needs to be fixed (also needs cooked etc)

whinge: whine
nappy:diaper
rubbish:trash
boot:trunk
fortnight:two weeks

Hmm, I'll keep adding to this post I think, as more come to mind!!
