Monday Musings - US/UK words

Hi everyone,

Thanks for joining me for the second of my Monday Musings series, if you missed the first one, you can read it here. Today is my first day back following a week's vacation, so this is just a quick post, highlighting some of the different words used in the US and UK for the same thing. There are so many! In the list below, the American word is first, then the UK version. I've tried to put them in some sort of order, but they might seem random, lol.

Sidewalk... pavement
Yard... garden
Trash... rubbish
Closet... wardrobe
Faucet... tap
Flashlight... torch
Hood (on a vehicle)... bonnet
Trunk (vehicular)... boot
GPS... sat-nav 
Band-aid... plaster
