American: Druggist


LOL I've never heard this term before but it made me picture somebody growing something green and illegal....

The only difference I ever really knew about was the color/colour thing, everything else I didn't really register as a difference.

I use couch and sofa as interchangable, but my Grandma use to call it a settee.

I feel stupid now, realizing that I've probably corrected some poor person's spelling when it was fine to begin with.

Meh... sorry, whoever-that-was!

I just realized something! I spell the word "gray" in the English version! I spell it like "grey"! No wonder my English teacher always laughs at me! Now that's just freaky.....

I think it's because I taught myself to read my reading signs going down the high way. I probably learned it from the "Greyhound" bus. (At least I think they spell it that way.....if not, I feel like a total idiot!
