During lecture yesterday, I was sitting with my Irish friends when my American friend came over and asked me if I wanted to go over to her place later to collect a pail.
After that conversation, my Irish friends gave me a puzzled look and said
"Pills?"
"Yeah, Pails", I said
"Pills?"
This went on until I realized Pail was american english, while Bucket was British English.
"Yeah Pails, I mean, BUCKET".
They later told me that for awhile they thought I was a drug addict taking pills.

Exams coming in 19 days. I remember reading Andi's blog entry he wrote during exam time and he was saying something along the lines of only people who are actually studying here will understand the difficulties of taking exams in french.
