The differences....

So if you say, I'm eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, this is what goes through an Australian's head...You must say peanut butter and JAM sandwich and even so, Australians will cringe. PB&J is not eaten here.

When I say Powerpoint, what do you think??

In the Land of Oz, Power point does reference Microsoft's Program, but more familiarly, it refers to an electrical outlet.

You see the switches above the outlets? They stop the flow of electricity. So instead of unplugging your appliances before you go on holiday, you just switch the power point off. How cool is that!? Come on USA, get on that.

Here in Australia, a biscuit is a cookie. Here are some of the best biscuits.
