In the States, the grassy part that divides a highway is the "median". In England it's the "central reservation", or at least was.
What we call "roundabouts" in the US, the Brits call "rotaries".
And a few months ago I was listening to a podcast and the international panelists were discusting things related to the body''s "skeletal" system. The Yanks pronounced it "SKEH-luh-tull", their UK counterparts pronounced it "skuh-LEE-tahl".
Oh yeah, then there's the "SKED-jew-wull"/"SHED-jool" Yank/Brit thing.
