The English language is fairly universal in many parts of the world, it's the use of the slightly less common words that causes the mayhem when used in a descriptive way that causes the misunderstandings worldwide. Whilst many know and understand the various general terminologies used worldwide, it can and does cause somewhat of a shock to many when the chaos of understanding and misunderstanding occurs when used internationally and at home! This website is a perfect example. It would help no end, if more of us understand that Worldwide. When added to British understatement and the use of local terminology using the same words but with different meanings, then chaos is almost guaranteed!
