Words

Clearly, there are many difference between spoken American and spoken English. The following have recently come to my attention as words/phrases that Americans just don't understand:

1. 'It makes no odds whether...'

2. 'I'm just going to find out what the score is...' (Not in reference to any sort of sporting event.)

3. 'Fiddly'

Also 'petrol'. Which amazed me. After all, I know what they mean by 'gas'.
