Not a correction as such, but it's worth pointing out that the situation is not as 'black and white' as this list suggests.

 

For example, in Britain, we also say 'two weeks' as well as 'fortnight', and Santa Claus as well as Father Christmas. Many people in the UK also use the words guy, fries, truck, cookie, movie and apartment with more or less the same meaning as in the USA. And it probably wouldn't seem strange if a British person - especially a young person - were to say janitor, parking lot, vacation, trailer, ride, driver's license or elevator. All of these words would be understood without any problem at all, and probably nobody would notice anything unusual.

 

American English is becoming global English.
