Some of these are not accurate, as there is more than one word used for the thing. Thin chips are called French Fries in British English. The knitted top can be a Pullover, Sweater, Woolly Jumper, Turtle Neck. The photo used for the back of the car is terrible, as that would be Tailgate, and if it were hinged at the top, it would a Hatchback - a Boot is specifically the rear of a Saloon car. British English is often a lot more specific than American English.

I got mad at the one where the photo is zoomed in to an elevator's control panel buttons and someone is pressing the button that goes to the Lobby and then was like "What's this place called in British English?" - why not show the ACTUAL ELEVATOR if you're trying to get me to guess what elevators are called in British English? (Also, elevators aren't a PLACE even...?) I knew some of the other ones just from having friends across the pond, but yeah, I know a lot of these things they showed have MULTIPLE names and can be highly regional/localized depending on where in the UK you're from, too. EDIT: as an aside, I am American and I have never once used the word "drapes" in my life. I've always called those things "curtains". Who tf uses the word "drapes"? XD

That one pissed me off so much. They show a specific object, but wanted you to name a generic category? Booooo.

Question 17. Badly phrased "Name this thing...". I answered "curtain" because the question was in the singular. Then I tried "net curtain" and "window" before I gave up.

I was raging as I put curtain as it asked what is this? If they wanted plural, they should have asked what are these!
