Do you still think there's only one language?MurielB a écrit:...

Of course, you prolly know:
- young Brits can speak American
- senior Brits don't want to hear American and are even horrified
- young Americans understand British En
- senior Americans don't speak British, some (not many) can understand British words (the ones who have British relatives

Yes I understand.
In a first step, we know only one word, in a second step we are happy to know the word used by the other side, then we know both words but don't remember which is what.
So I sometimes wonder who uses elevator and who uses lift

I agree. For me an elevator is larger than a lift. The Americans are larger than the Brits !

I'd have said I wish I could... was a conditional.
What about "I wish I were a billionaire"? Isn't it good English? Is "were" the simple past of 'to be"??
