What are the differences between British + American stuff??

Yes maybe we do like bigger portions of food, but we could care less about the size as it really depends on taste.

@Castle there's one.

Maybe just because it's a peeve of mine that I notice it more.

You got me there, that was a slip up on my part, I haven't been feeling well all day so my spelling hasn't been on point. I normslly don't make that mistake. But you are right, "Could care less" I have seen get thrown around alot by Americans.

I was cooking tonight and I think a British person wrote it cuz it says Beef Mince instead of Ground Beef and it took watching the video as well as a google search to figure out what they were talking about. Thankfully it had American measurements and temperatures listed too.

Items:
Americans say "sneakers", Brits say "trainers"
Americans say "sweater", Brits say "jumper"
Americans say "cookie", Brits say "biscuit"

Spelling:
Americans say "Color", Brits say "colour"
Americans say "theater", Brits say "theatre"
Americans say "gray", Brits say "grey"

Misc:
Americans say "2 weeks", Brits say "a fortnite"
Americans say "apartment", Brits say "flat"
Americans say "elevator", Brits say "lift"

I'm American but I've gotten a little knowledge from Harry Potter, my dad who works with people overseas, and youtube. Some of the Brit terms like "flat" modern Australians use, but they're more alike than we are to them, so makes sense.
