US vs UK English

I've discovered a number of threads and questions relating to words used in the Harry Potter books.

Can I please refer people to

Dictionary | English | American ⇔ British | Lexicon
Dictionary.com

If you don't know what words mean - please look them up!

the first is a link to a British-American english translation site.
the second is simply a dictionary.

I was going to ask, rhetorically, "Is the word, "CV" in there?" -- assuming it would not be. And just to be a smart azz, I figured I'd look it up so I could say that it's not between "current account" and curtains."
By George, it's there!

grin....
CV is a standard replacement for the word Resume.
Curriculum Vitae = CV (latin) of course.

can't apply for a job in this country without being asked for a resume or CV.

thanks you for the info and the cites....i get tryerd of my friend asking things on aim about words.....lol got to love HP ne way weather the words are hard to read right????????


GO DA!!!!!!!!!
