That's why the English accuse us of speaking "American", not English.

Apparently, languages change as they cross the ocean. On a trip around the 
Gaspe Peninsula my brother was the designated french speaker.

Scene in a shop:

Bro: "[supposedly speaking French]"

Shopkeepers:  (Say nothing) Look at him like he is an alien - from another 
planet.

How were we to know that in crossing the ocean a pomme de terre became a 
potat?
