Also, I thought the word "cheers" meant "salud", but in England they use it all the time, for "thank you", for "good-bye", or "ok" ...
in Barnsley (Yorkshire), the dialect sounds really "Shakespearian"...
they will say "I'll kick thine ..." or even "I'll kick thee thine ..."

difference in spelling English/American :
Words like : neighbour/neighbor - colour/color - harbour/harbor
