Hmm... I think there are plenty of things to translate eastwards as well.
I was initially just used to US english because of my vacations and flight
training in South Carolina (and TV). Being on 2 mailing lists now with a
larger UK/ Aussieland representation does require plenty of clicks to
answers.com for me. I think the UK speaking side does have a larger share
of traditional sayings which can be confusing. Then again, Texas also seems
to bring along a whole different culture / slang of its own :-).

If I'd use my own slang, that would be confusing:
