The real problem with american vs. british english is the words with
the same spelling in both that are likely to be used to mean different
things...
"color" and "colour" both mean the same thing and will usually be
understood on either side of the atlantic. "roundabout", "momentarily",
"liberal", "pound sign" etc. are the tricky ones.
