About
"Divided by a Common Language offers a detailed comparison of the language and customs of the US and the UK. Author Christopher Davies also discusses all the important differences between the two countries in the practical details of daily life, and American readers in particular will enjoy his account of American culture as seen through an Englishman's eyes. Davies tops it off with an amusing list of expressions that sound innocent enough in one country but make quite the opposite impression in the other. The distinctive words of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa are explained in separate sections devoted to the many varieties of English spoken around the globe. Americans who enjoy contemporary British novels, movies, and television, as well as Britons who are interested in American culture, won't want to be without this handy guide to life on the other side of the Atlantic."--BOOK JACKET.
