English (British) - American Dictionary

Note that "freeway" is a Western (mostly California) term, which sounds as foreign to a Floridian as does motorway. top up vs. fill up -- we do "top off" our gas (petrol) tanks, after filling up, i.e., after the pump valve clicks off, one "tops off" the tank to the nearest 5 or 10 cents. bill vs. check (in a restaurant) -- in the Southeast, we tend to say "bill" While we do call a dollar a "bill" rather than a "note", all U.S. currency has the words "Federal Reserve Note" printed on it.
