Is there a book that lists the words/phrases that are used differently in the UK and the USA?
Words/phrases that are only used in either country. Words/phrases that have similar meanings but slightly differ. I only want the lists of words that are quite fundamental. I also want to know the words that have different spellings! ex) color, colours

- I remember seeing one, but i can't remember how it was spelled, cause it might have been from the UK.
