Seriously though I do find it fascinating the slight difference in language sometimes I have to sit and think what the word means other times of course it is obvious. The one that throw me most was yard it took me a couple of years of reading America novels before it sunk in that a lot of Americans refer to a garden as a yard. Whereas a yard in the UK is an area of concrete that you put things on such a builders yards or back yards in house that do not have gardens which might have a few potted plants etc.
LOL
I call them postmen also but I thought I was showing my age if I used that term.
Our yards are an area around the house for grass, patios, flowers, shrubs and trees. :) I guess we have broadened the use of yard to take in the entire area. When I mention a garden, it is where hubby has his vegetables planted .... tomatoes, peppers, corn and squash. :)
I love the English Gardens.
