Excellent move. Long overdue. Should be a requirement in the U.S. Except Americans don't speak English, they know nothing of Lorries, lifts, car parks, nappies, etc, etc..

reminds me of the joke about the american over in england. he kept asking for things and the concierge would correct him on what the items were called.
the american, fed up informed the man that he ought to know what these things were called, they were invented by americans.
the brit responded, "yes sir, but WE invented the language"

Oh, I don't know about that. There are a few of us who have ventured out and operate smoothly using all those terms. It's kinda cute.
