Ahhh, I'm begginning to get the picture.

I was looking at what we (South Africans) sometimes call 'Americanisms' <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Pavement = sidewalk
taxi = cab
flat = apartment
tap = faucet

I'm not too sure how these different words come about, as technically we all speak 'English", but it makes for some really interesting interpretations at times!

BTW, If anyone doesn't quite understand what I post, don't feel shy to ask or point it out - As an international forum, we all undoubtedly get mixed up with 'Standered' and 'colloqueal' english.
