An American visiting England walked into a hotel lobby and pushed a button for elevator service."The lift will be down presently," said a nearby clerk.
"The lift?" said the American."Oh,you mean the elevator."
"No,I mean the lift," replied the Englishman,annoyed by the American's arrogance.
"I think I should know what it's called," said the American."After all,elevators were invented in the United States."
"Perhaps," retorted the Englishman."But the language was invented here."
