I am very fascinated by the little differences in language and wording between Western countries. You might remember my Regional Dialect Meme vlog from a few months ago - it mainly focused on pronunciation, but there are lots of specific word differences between Australian and the US. I made a larger list of some differences I could think of on my Listography. The words above are just some of my favourites.

Can you think of any other fun word differences?

I bought this skirt today while I was bored waiting for my Nanna to pick clothes - she takes even longer than I do! I've not bought a 'new' new item of clothing in quite some time. I still adore this yellow coat (though it is nowhere near as bright as it used to be). Happy 11/11/11 folks.

Ps. Lady Croissant aka Adeline was kind enough to let me visit her today.
