Dictionary of strange sounding American words... (written for Alex!)

Have you ever noticed, when bumping into your average American, that their version of English is very much different to ours? Well worry no more! Here is a small dictionary of English to American words, for your pleasure! If you come up with any yourself, don't hesitate to contact me through MSN (the same pronunciation American or English).

1. Lever - English: Lee-verr American: Lev-er
2. Alluminium - English: Al-you-min-nee-um American: Al-looo-min-umm
3. Tube - English: T-you-buh American: T-ooooo-buh
4. Tomato - English: Tom-aah-toe American: Tom-aay-toe
5. Blog - English: Bl-og American: Bl-arh-g
6. Taps - Englsih: Taps American: faucets. (How very strange)

That's all for now I'm afraid Folks!
