Ok, so the British [and us Aussies] speak normal.
Biscuit for Cookie, Jumper for Sweater, Boot for Trunk [car]
Bonnet for Hood [car], Truckie for Trucker, Fairy floss for Candy floss,
Lollies for Candy, Lift for Elevator....
I have noticed that I can understand the american versions, because we
get heaps of american television, yet americans seem to be lacking in
bi-lingual skills... nevermind, I consider that's what these forums are
for. you can ask a friend across the pond what a thing is and sometimes
get a recipe or even a package... it's nice :)
As far as translation goes, there's no real problem there.
Just rip the book up into chapters and give one each to a different
person... so much faster! :)
