Hello Carol.

 CS> It shouldnt be a problem unless one uses 'slang'.  You probably speak
 CS> 'english' Hwith what a North American would consider to be a vaguely
 CS> 'British' accent.

 CS> You will find more confusion though if you talk about cooking as the
 CS> words Harent quite the same.  A North American thinks of a light
 CS> fluffy white bread Hwith the word 'biscuit' but to the english it's a
 CS> cracker (hard flat thing) and Hto the Australians it's a cookie (hard
 CS> baked sugar product).  Can give some Hsuprises when following a recipe
 CS> for 'biscuits' if you dont know the country of Horigin.
Ouuu shit! :) It's realy largest problem ?
