An Englishman is walking through a hotel in the USA and says to a man, ""please hold the lift!"" The man replies, ""it's an elevator."" ""No, no, no, it's a lift"" the Englishman retorts. ""Listen, we invented the elevator in America, therefore, it's an elevator, plain and simple."" ""Ah, yes"" says the Englishman, ""but we invented the language.""
