The AMGLISH Dictionary

- An English Language Survival Guide

Bag om The AMGLISH Dictionary

For vacationers and business people crossing the Atlantic for the first time, the differences between the two forms of English quickly become apparent - and those differences turn out to be far greater than you imagined before you stepped onto the aircraft. When they ask their British hosts to use the bathroom, American visitors to the UK may be surprised to be directed to a room with a bath - but not necessarily a toilet. British visitors to Florida may be horrified when their resort check-in agent offers them a complimentary fanny pack. In this lighthearted guide to the common language that divides us, you will find out why. (The AMGLISH Dictionary is edited and abridged from the book, AMGLISH: Two Nations Divided by a Common Language, by Mike Powell).
