America doesn't talk in English, it talks in a language called 'American English'...

There are thousands of differences between how we Indians speak English and how Americans do. For the same thing/place/event, Americans use different, sometimes contradictory, words than us. I had read somewhere that America and India are two opposite sides of the world, not just physically but how their people talk. Here you flick UP the switch and not flick DOWN. In the restaurant, you get the CHECK and pay through BILLS and not otherwise. Courtesy immihelp.com, I thought of providing the following key to be more 'American'. The list is quite exhaustive and I think I might have grasped 75% of it in the last 9 months.

Its quite interesting and for those Indians who are in IT, it really helps to know American english because most of us have to communicate with American clients. For some others, it makes them more 'cool' to talk American....or should I say Amairican??? :)
