One of the funniest things I heard with regard to
the language discrepancies between British,
American and Australian English came from a guy
on my husband's ship.

When a Dutch guy was introduced on Gen. Frank's
staff and the question was raised why he was
there, the comment made was that the Dutch guy
was there as a translator so that the Americans,
British and Australians could understand each
other.
