My ex...UK born...went to the US to do his PhD. One of the requirements was to teach. One of his first experiences was standing in front of the blackboard( remember those?),and referring to the object in his hand as a 'rubber'...as opposed to an eraser. This was met by much sniggering.
Then there was his first Thanksgiving meal. He was offered squash...his response was " squashed what?".
