Oh, great idea
englishus folders and
englishuk folders:
Apart from differences in vocabulary, grammar and pronuciation, I have noted a few differences in usage between
englishuk and
englishus. I found these comparing the
englishuk and
englishus versions of a Grammar Book. usually both are correct in each varietu of English, but one is more usual in
englishuk, while the other is more common in
englishus.

englishus : I'll call her
englishuk : I feel a bit hungry
englishus : I feel a little hungry
englishuk : We decided to go by car
englishus : We decided to drive

englishus : cross the street
englishuk : look for somewhere else to stay
englishus : look for another place to live
englishuk : I am going on holiday
englishus : I am leaving on vacation
englishuk : When you have finished with it...

englishuk)
englishuk : to advise someone

englishuk : When will you know your exam results ?
englishus : When will you find out how you did on the exam ?

PS1: I'm a noob with English and I want to create new folders to put my name and my links inside. Just It. Great idea, no? Ok, maybe not English because I don't need the complains from xoops.org, so... what about another language? what about Portuguese? YES! Great IDEA!PS2: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=KDkw7oazjiA
