My mother didn't tell me for years what puddings were made of, when I found out I stopped eating them (and am now a vegetarian)! Apparently black puddings aren't made out of blood, only the white puddings. Someone I know was talking about them recently which is why i know that, I didn't just google it!

Apparently "aluminum" came before "aluminium"... I thought it would be the other way around :|

Hm, I guess American English is in many cases "original English", because the language in England was so much influenced by French etc...
