Two nations divided by the Atlantic Ocean (Eddie Izzard ftw)

I know the poll is imperfect, e.g. Brits have had far more exposure to American culture over a longer period of time than Americans have had of British culture; many of you are non-native speakers, but have acquired one of the two forms, or a hybrid of both (and, sorry sorry, but I lumped Australia and New Zealand in with the Brits, and Canadians in with the Americans, which was stupid, but I haven't had coffee), but please choose the best answers you can.

ETA for clarification: If you're American, answer question one of one and two only. If you're British, answer question two of one and two only. A question that starts with "I'm British" probably shouldn't be answered by you if you're, you know, *not British*.

EATA: :sigh: in a coincidental, and sad, turn of events, William Safire (he of the "On Language" column at the New York Times) just died. Okay, 2009, I surrender. You win.
