Pretty useless essay, even if well meaning

[edit]

As the section title says. None of these are actual idioms, which are invariably more than one word. These are variants in usage of individual words between differing varieties of English. There already articles on that, notably the comparison of British and American English. This essay, does not do what it intends. oknazevad (talk) 02:06, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
