MurielB a écrit:For me it is "led". Is it leaded in Am ? I will have to memorize it  then.
LOL
You're right Muriel: the pas is "led" even in American :=

"Lead" (pronounced led) is a metal... there's also white lead, red lead (chemical salts), and black lead (pencil).

You can see here th "need" (for Americans) to be as efficient as possible, to trim useless words.
Sometimes, people use filler words to save time to think of wht they may say Smile

No Muriel. Er shows you hesitate or you don't know while filler words -that don't need your brain- are true words and let attendees think they're part of the speech.
Other people use "In fact, well" or others.

Jenny feels ill. She ate too much
I know that this sentence is correct in Am but for me it is very difficult to talk like that. I have learnt that when an action happened in the past and has an influence in  the present we have to use the present perfect and it is difficult to change.
Let's get off our comfort zone and build new connections. It's good for the brain. Very Happy

> typo mistake
"Typo" is enough Muriel, it is understood (of course let's pronounce it correctly - taïpo).
At least in my mind, a typo is a tiny thing (re written words); a mistake is more serious; an error is still more (error is the legal word).

~~ edit
I just learned a new word Smile
In legal terms, they use the noun "wrong" (I thought it was only an adjective: no!)

In the same area, I'd add
- glitch... I use it with the meaning of "little mistake" but my dictionary says informal term for a minor problem; we use it in computing for a technical problem
- hiatus (words only)
- bug - we use the word in computing for a problem; this word has got several meanings and it's different in US En and Brit En.
