Right, boys, we need to establish an equilibrium between British and American English. By that I mean certain words are different in Britain than they are in America! You don't need to give an exact translation - just give an equal exam.
I'll start:
British: Chav
American: Redneck, trash. |

Talking about this... It's annoying when they are like "UMT YOU ARE WRONG, IT IS SPELLED LIKE THIS!" For example:
Grammer=Grammer
But people ussualy argues that "Grammer" iswrong to say, or that it's wrong to say "Grammar" |

| You didn't give us any motivation. How do you expect us to spend our time doing this without motivation? |

Due to your horrid understanding of the English language I couldn't fully grasp what you meant by this, but I will tell you that "Grammer" is *not* a word. "Grammar" is a word and it is not interchangeable with "Grammer" which, again, is not a word. |
