While the English language is spoken by people around the world, they don\u2019t all use the same words for everything. To help address this confusion, illustrator Samantha Sanders<\/a> created guide to help Americans and Britons understand what the other is referring to\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Brits-Americans-English-1b-685x477\"<\/p>\n
