A bit of explanation.

Here, if you ask someone for a lift, you are asking for a ride in their car.

A holiday is a period of time that gives you the opportunity to take a vacation without losing pay.

Here in the US, when a man removes his trousers, he is often breathing in short pants.

Reading these comments I'm disappointed by the hatred people have for the people in the states.

Why?

The world's full of different peoples... cultures, languages, dialect.

Why do people hate that?

This is very disturbing.

😑😶

They wanted to be different.

I agree with you on soccer and restroom. Although, to be fair, the bathroom/restroom at home was one place that I could hide for a bit from the family. Public restrooms, no way.

If it's America, then you should be training to learn American English. But if not, then focus on British English because most other English-speaking countries use British English grammar and spelling standards.
