Hi, Fellas! Good evening. How are you today? In this session I would like to continue the topic of some differences between British and American vocabulary. 

1. BrE: ‘flashlight’ vs. AmE; ‘torch.’
   • Example,
     • “Do you have a torch?”
     • “Do you have a flashlight?”
2. BrE: ‘underground. vs. AmE: ‘subway.’
   • Example:
     • “Do you know which underground I should take to go to city’s library?”
     • “Do you know which subway I should take to go to city’s library?”
3. BrE: ‘post’ vs. AmE: ‘mail.’
   • Example:
     • “You got a post from your mother.”
     • “You got a mail from your mother.”
4. BrE: ‘trainers’ vs. AmE: ‘sneakers.’
   • Example:
     • “Where did you put my trainers?”
     • “Where did you put my sneakers?”
5. BrE: ‘windscreen.’ vs. AmE: ‘windshield.’ 
   • Example:
     • “I think the windscreens are broken.”
     • “I think the windshields are broken.”
6. BrE: ‘rubber’ vs. AmE: ‘eraser.’
   • Example:
     • “May I borrow your rubber?”
     • “May I borrow your eraser?”
7. BrE: ‘courgette’ vs. AmE: ‘zucchini.’
   • Example:
