    See? Watching all of those British shows in the '80's, '90's and early 2000's paid off! 😁

    #1 in American English, as "truck" is typically a pickup truck, and in British English, we'd call that a "pickup". A "lorry" is a larger commercial vehicle as per the picture, which may be fixed or articulated (an "artic", which Americans call a "semi").

    13/15. If you had a Venn diagram with British English on one side and American English on the other side, in the middle of that Venn diagram, you get Canadian English. Canadians still use British spellings and words such as theatre and queue but uses American words such as eggplant instead of aubergine or takeout instead of takeaway.
