Do you guys learn English English or American English or some third thing? Is the big piece of metal that covers your engine of you car a hood or a bonnet? Is the thing out back a boot or a trunk? When it's dark out, do you grab a flashlight or a torch? When getting in the box to take you to a different floor is at an elevator or a lift?
I learned some time ago the differences between American and British English, but I've forgotten most of them.
I usually use hood, trunk, flashlight and lift.
You make the diagnosis
