There are many words and sayings that are different, not knowing the right word can sometimes get you into trouble. I mostly just get laughed at or corrected when I use the "wrong" word. Here are just a few of the differences:
| American | English |
| Purse | Handbag |
| Wallet (ladies) | Purse |
| Knock on wood | Touch wood |
| Pants | Trousers |
| Underpants | Pants |
| Take a nap | Have a lie down |
| Study | Revise |
