Sometimes Sayings.

I think the Chinese are well on the way to sorting it out. What we used to call Phillips Head screwdrivers, they call Plus Head screwdrivers and what we call Plain or blade screwdrivers, they call Minus Head screwdrivers. Poor old MG cars, the epitome of British sports cars, which since 1924 stood for Morris Garages, is now owned by Chinese and stands for Modern Gentleman.

The Americans are catching up, what the rest of the world calls Castleated nuts, they call Cake nuts. They have many of their own names for food items, including what we call Sultanas, they call Raisins. (I don't know what they call raisins) Our fruit salad is a dessert dish made of fruit, while in America, it is a lettuce salad with a few slices of fruit on top. What we call the Main course at a meal, they call the Entree. They obviously do not know it is a French word. Speaking of French words, near where I used to live and still  pass at least twice a week, is the Quays Motel. We call it by the French pronunciation "Keys", while American tourists call it the "Kways."

I have tried four times now to send a message, they have all disappeared.  I now give up.
