USA English: fag- A slur that can be used to insult an homosexual or just an insult
UK English: fag- A cigarette.

Thanks to online gaming, I think is universal now :snick: Little kids and their shit sometimes...

OT: I think it's called chips in Uk whereas they're called fries in the states and Canada. Not totally sure to be honest.

your answer is incomplete

How the hell is this incomplete? We use the US Customary system here and everybody else uses the metric system. Don't say it's incomplete if you don't know what you're talking about

emphasises/Globalisation/oranising/realise in UK
Emphasizes/Globalization/organizing/realize in USA

Just about every word that ends with -ize is converted to -ise in British English
-I went from studying in a school in Florida to a British school, hard change when dealing with this bullshit.
