Without English to English to help you, could you*... 1. Receive a
stiffie in Stamford? 2. Buy some broadloom in Bradford? 3. Get
gazumped in Galveston? 4. Eat aragula in Aberdeen? 5. Go to the
carsey in Cleveland? 6. Get your bangs trimmed in Belfast? This
handy A to Z brings you bang up to date on over 2,000 commonly used
English words that can cause confusion, chaos, red faces and even
cost you money if you use them in the wrong way, in the wrong
country ... especially for business and social purposes. So stick
this guide in your pocket, briefcase or on your favourite
electronic device ... and avoid ever making embarrassing goofs in
this international English of ours, ever again. * (1.Yes, a stiffie
is a formal invitation card. 2.Yes, as long as you called it fitted
carpet. 3.Possibly: gazumping is a real estate term. 4. Yes,
provided you asked for rocket (salad.) 5. Yes, as long as you want
to go to the washroom. 6. Yes, but you'd need to ask them to trim
your fringe.)
