      There’s a difference in how we use it though, at least in my experience. Tuna is used for the actual live fish and if you are talking about fillets or sushi tuna. Tuna fish is much more likely to be used for canned tuna and any “salads” made from it.

    In the UK a "bin" is for waste in the house, i.e, you call a waste paper basket, A dustbin (you call a trash can) is for outside the house. More dangerous is what you call a "fanny pack", we call a bum bag. Fanny is a lady's "front bottom" in the UK.

You can't just say that someone who has been the biggest and most successful comedian in the world is not funny just like you cannot say that Luciano Pavarotti was not one of the greatest vocalists of the 20th century. Not everyone is going to be blown away by the same artist.

      That seems correct to me. Eye doctor is the literal translation from Augenarzt. Trash can is translated from Mülleimer (trash bucket), pavement translated from German would be citizens walk. However, there is no nonsense like horse back riding in German as riding is reserved for sitting on a moving horse's back only. Boats, cars, ferries and bikes are "driven" in Germany.

    Here's one from personal experience. I live in China (Brit) and we have three American's on our English team. And three simple words can cause the ultimate arguments: Pop, Soda and Coke ... These guys are from Texas, Wisconsin and Maine. (I will add, that they are awesome - all hard workers and a credit to the school).

    Squash and racquetball are very similar, but they use different balls. Squash balls are small, hard and black. Racquetball balls are larger, blue and with a lot more bounce.
