... I don't quite agree with this list.

we can't say the left column is definitely formal and the right one is definitely informal,
let's say the left column is more formal.
Don't ban the right column is you are writing an official letter.
Don't ban the left column if you are speaking with friends.

Muriel,
> It is "grilling" in American English
Do you mean that "to broil" is the American word for the British "to grill" or that "to grill" is the American word for the British "to broil"?
To broil is definitely American.
