Strange how the same word, used in the same language, means something different simply due to the location.
Can someone explain what a "turnpike" is?
Also, we refer to the pedestrian walkway next to any road, as the "pavement". I guess that could cause an accident over here if an American tourist was told to walk on the pavement?
