Sort of ties into your screenname, doesn't it? Decem- comes from the Latin for ten, but December is the twelfth month.
Coincidence.

Re: Lexical differences between dialects in your native lang

I'm not claiming to be the master of American English, please don't quote me on these examples. They're just things we came up with a year ago and I thought it would be interesting to discuss them. I knew some of them wouldn't be accurate.

Never heard of "shan".
I've heard of it (and used to use it quite a bit in school), I think it only appeared in the past decade or so, and it was more common with teenagers than anyone else, but I think the word is dying out now.

Lexical differences between dialects in your native language

I'm English (from England), and last year while on holiday in Spain, my family and I decided to come up with as many words that are different between British English and American English (and of course by this I mean the general dialects, I know there are many dialects within these broad terms).
