Oh don't cough at me...it's just what we have to do I'm afraid.
I know, it's like living in a parallel universe!

I heard it as lino. Poor john, sofa or floor.
Good to know out wasn't the floor.

Once I told my Grandpa that I wanted to go to the UK to be on the crew of the next Harry Potter film (it was PoA). He asked me if I spoke English.
My great-grandmother and her sister came to the US During WWI, and I remembering her son (my other grandpa) and my day, aunts and uncles, using the word "twit" a lot (often in reference to my cousins and myself). For the longest time, I thought that grandpa had made up the word, 'twit'

That's lovely. I like the word 'twit'. I think a blessing of being British is we have a language which has some wonderful words and the curse is we are so used to them that we forget that they are.

Another American adds her thanks. I also thought "lino" as "linoleum" but it didn't make too much sense.
As they say, England and America are two nations nations divided by a common language...
