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"

A young American man enroles at Magdalen College, Oxford, and on his first afternoon, as he innocently explores the university, he stops a lecturer and asks "Where's the library at?" The lecturer gives him a withering look, and pronounces "Young man, here at Magdalen one does not end one's sentences with prepositions." The American ponders this briefly, then brightly replies "Okay, where's the library at, asshole?"
