UK vs USA.


An American visiting England asked the concierge where the elevator was in his hotel.

The concierge looked a bit confused, but smiled when he realised what the man wanted. "You must mean the lift," he said.

"No," the American responded. "If I ask for the elevator, I mean the elevator."

"Well, over here we call them lifts," the concierge said.

"Now you listen," the American said, rather irritated. "Someone in the U.S invented the elevator."

"Oh, you are right sir," the concierge said. "But someone here in England invented the language."
