Would you as a British speaker say "In a game of American football,...."
I know that American football is not common in the UK, however, when you refer to its play session, would you use "game" as in the USA or change it to "match"?
Thank you :)

Would you use "vapourise" or "vaporise" is British English? Thank you!
According to most dictionaries "vaporise", "vaporising", "vaporisation"...etc are the forms used in BrE, but I've also come across "vapourise", "vapourising" and "vapourisation" as well.
Is one form more correct than the other, or are they both considered correct?

Do you use "Analogue multimeter" in the UK?
I came across this term "Analog multimeter" in an American text, and I wonder how do technical people in the UK write it.
Is it "Analogue multimetre" or "Analogue multimeter"? I tried Google search but it wasn't much of a helping hand.
Thanks in advance.
