The big thing for me whilst shopping in Orlando was when I asked for a medium. I pronounce it "mee-jum" in a broad Glaswegian accent. You guys say "mee-dee-um" - probably as it is supposed to be pronounced and it became my "new word" for the whole 2 weeks!
One addition to Alex's:
city centre = downtown
Most people on the East of Scotland call the city centre "uptown". Imagine a conversation between an Edinburger and a New Yorker about city planning!
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
