politness

One thing I can't do is American politness, it is very hard to do when you are used to asking for the toilet... in a home it's the bathroom and in shops ect it's restroom...how can you rest????, I need a wee, or pee if your American why do I need a Bath??

in the UK we talk sanitry towels, in America femine hygine products, UK toilet tissue, US bathroom tissue! whats wrong with bog roll? you will not believe the amount of Americans who have heard that expression and loooove it.

Underware is intimate apparell! or Delicate items!

Although I always snigger that trousers are called Pants..haven't worked out what Pants are called yet???? I think something like underapparell???

American don't sware, seriously, i have a neightbour and she has started swearing cos she has clicked I don't care, I don't swear very often but when I do (actually that said as a British person of my age I don't swear! alot) words that don't count Bloody, crap, shit, wanker, bollocks, slag and thats becouse my Mum didn't think they where swear words seriously, from a young age I could use these words and my mum wasn't worried but the F or S word with or without an Ite' ! forget it beaten bottom and to bed without any supper, but now even the F and the C words are very excepted in the UK and I use both without thinking.. I do wonder when I post this to an American site what will happen??? different values..(I swear very little as a UK person people remark apon it at home, but maybe because I was brought up in an atmoshere where in the right circumstances it was permitable, just a thought!), that said Brit swear alot, and you don't even see it, they are discriptive and poetic, try it you might like it?
