Talk:Comparison of American and British English

"I couldn't care less"
The article says 'Both BrE and AmE use the expression "I couldn't care less" to mean the speaker does not care at all.'

But, we very often hear Americans using "I could care less" when they really mean "I couldn't care less". The former, which is heard often (e.g. on US TV and films) is logically incorrect, and confusing to British ears, so possibly worth mentioning? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.44.19.62 (talk • contribs) 17:51, 7 November 2011‎ (UTC)

Confusion over section title
What do you mean by "holiday" as in the phrase "Holiday greetings" used as heading for section 2.3? I mean, don't Americans say "vacation" instead of "holiday"? --Fandelasketchup (talk) 11:37, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Add section on pronunciation
It's easy to open this article on a mobile phone, see the various sections (grammar differences, spelling differences) and then wonder where's the "pronunciation differences" section. After this, you may read the notice on top that says:

"For a comparison of typical American versus British pronunciation differences, see Comparison of General American and Received Pronunciation."

Since inadvertently skipping that notice is easier than it seems, I think a brief section with a high-level view of the pronunciation differences should be included (maybe some basics on rhoticity and the LOT vowel), and then a link added to the main article with more information. In that way, someone that reasonably expects a section on pronunciation differences would see it beside all the other sections. It's easier to miss it as a message on top. 2A0C:5A81:4303:2100:28C5:6307:223B:77D (talk) 01:08, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Re: Bill
The noun: Bill, in AmeE means a discussed, formulated, composed & drafted suggestion of/for a piece of legislation-I am not sure what the BritE equivalent is/would be.

Also, a bill is also an animal's beak (again, amnot sure which one would be/is used in BritE! There's also the document called: a bill of goods/bill of laden. Where is it used & is there a Bolddifferent dialectal/regional to it?

Lastly, in the U.S., when in restaurant, one may ask for the bill or, for the check-whereas, in BritE, I am quite certain, only the noun: bill can be/is used in this context...
