Ok, I love this thread. At school here (Italy) we mainly study British English, even though you never know until you learn enough to tell the difference between British English and American English. Now, what about this:

I still remember my classmates laughing when I asked for a "rubber", in Santa Clara University, CA, USA Of course those are pretty funny ways to learn and never forget.
