-> Now you are confusing me.
-> What is the difference between a truck and a lorry?
-> And doesn't theese run on diesel?

British  -> Lorry
American -> Truck
  but they mean the same.

British  -> Petrol
American -> Gasoline (idiomatic gas)
  but they mean the same.

Sometimes the Canadians use British dialects (such as British "colour"
instead American "color")
Sometimes the Canadian use American terms (such as American "truck" instead
of British "lorry")

My point was that English, especially American English, is really a
combination of many languages.  There are neither consistent pronuciations
nor consistent spellings of the same word or phrase. That must make English
VERY difficult for others to learn.

I struggle to manage some VERY poor German (a orderly language) and yet
others learn English (a disorderly language).  AMAZING!!!
