	Diaper is spelt correctly, jelly is jello and 'pram' is short for perambulator, a British word. Will update garbage can.

	Hey, I lived in England for 4 years, they don't call cans, tins, nor do they call it a dustbin, it is a rubbish can. Also, I really liked this quiz, though maybe the best I have ever taken. SO FUN. I really liked how you got rubber and jacket potato, though, i think you should change bathroom to loo

	Bathroom = bathroom. Get rid of that one, or put some blatantly English term like loo or water closet. Trainers = tennis shoes. Autumn and film are widely used in US English.

	@geogenius: Well I've lived in England for 53 years, and I know that we do have tins (or cans - both words are used) and dustbins. We never say rubbish can, but just "bin" would be usual.

	@geogenius - thanks! Sorry about the hint column colour - it has been updated.

	"Class" is more like "lesson", if you wanted an equivalent to "grade" I'd go with "Year" e.g. if you were in 6th grade you'd be in year 7. Maybe accept "chips"? Primary school is for children ages 3-11 so Kindergarten doesn't really fit. Other than that, good game.

	I'm American, the first thing I thought of when I saw primary school was "elementary school", not kindergarten

	@geogenius: Where are you from? In England we DO say dust bin and tins as well as other words. Also...there is no such language as "American" its "American English"
