An American in England 


An American visiting in England asked at the hotel for
the elevator. 

The portiere looked a bit confused but smiled when he
realized what the man wanted. 

"You must mean the lift," he said. 

"No," the American responded. "If I ask for the
elevator I mean the elevator." 

"Well," the portiere answered, "over here we call them
lifts". 

"Now you listen", the American said rather irritated,
"someone in America invented the elevator." 

"Oh, right you are sir," the portiere said in a polite
tone, "but someone here in England invented the
language."
