A little story ..... my son spent his first few years of schooling in the the British school system. We then moved to Hawaii. One afternoon, my wife was confronted by the teacher who said our 9-year old had asked for a rubber. My bride had to explain that he was asking for an eraser. Funny ..... 2 countries separated by a common language.
