English words that mean different in US and UK..

@TopOfTheWorld No – it's about the same word meaning different things in the UK and in the colonies; not the same thing expressed by different words.

@helenS I'm very sorry for getting the rules of the game wrong. Are you going to tell all the others off too , or only me?

@TopOfTheWorld Only you, because I like you.

@helenS Well in that case I'm honoured but a bit puzzled too because there's not much to go on , not much to like or dislike about me on here.

@TopOfTheWorld Yes I know, it's not easy, especially since you don't have a single post of your own!

@helenS Yes, even though I've been here since the day the site opened, I'm not really the posting type, I'm more of a quiet observer type. I just contribute to posts publicly sometimes like this. You're a long term member too I think?

@TopOfTheWorld Oh yes! Like you, I joined almost at the beginning of time, and I've always liked the site. In fact it's the only "social" website on which I have been actively contributing since 2016. Although my number of posts isn't really that large, and I had to delete some of them a year ago.

@helenS why did you have to delete some, is there a limit on how many you're allowed to have or was it for a different reason?

@TopOfTheWorld No it was because those posts focused on something I do not wish to be associated with predominantly.

@helenS oh I see , fair enough. At least that's one problem I won't have to deal with!

@TopOfTheWorld Haha with no posts at all, that's not really surprising!

@helenS maybe one day I'll shock you, a post will appear!

@TopOfTheWorld Looking forward! 🌷
