Re: [YAEUT] Lexical variation survey

I should perhaps point out that some of my vocabulary
preferences are conscious choices in order to get understood
transatlantically, like 'toilet'. My US-migrant grandma
surely said 'bathroom', but then hers actually had a bath!
She was self-conscious of some of the Americanisms she used,
like 'fall' and would declaim "I mean autumn" after saying
it. The letter Z most certainly was 'zee' to her. She had a
book called "The big A to [zi] picture book" that had
belonged to my aunt, who was born in Chicago.
