With a foreword by Lynne Truss. An expat´s witty, insightful exploration of British and American cultural differences through the lens of language

---

In this brilliant transatlantic survival guide, Erin Moore examines the key differences between the British and the Americans through their language.

You´ll discover why Americans give - and take - so many bloody compliments and never, ever say ´shall´ (well hardly ever), as well as what the British really mean when they say ´proper´, why they believe it is better to be bright than clever and how the word sorry has at least eight different meanings for them.
