If I’m talking to an English speaker from outside of the US, is there any confusion if I say “soccer”?
For example, when I was in college a friend asked for a “torch”. I was confused for quite some time, because I didn’t know it was another word for “flashlight”. Does the same thing happen with the word “soccer”? Should I clarify by saying, “…or football”?
Thank you!
At least you don’t need to know geography to get on a plane.
I am amazing at geography, so that’s not an issue.
The real problem is getting around once you land, and I can say with absolute confidence that is universal.
Me too, show me a map of the US and I can show you which one is Texas.
