"It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule." Gandalf, "The Last Debate."

British and Americans are two peoples separated by a common language?
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep. -Psalm 107

What's up with that? Trunks are for storage. Boots are for feet!
But then, on the right-side of the pond, we park on the driveways and drive on the parkways, so what do we know?

Since evidence can be adduced and interpreted to corroborate a virtually limitless array of world views, the human challenge is to engage that world view or set of perspectives which brings forth the most valuable, life-enhancing consequences.

here on the east coast, horsemanship styles collide: we have Western which evolved in the American west (courtesy of the Spanish, by way of the Moors), and English which came from the early English colonists....
if you speak Western, the thing that holds the saddle on is a cinch, if you speak English, it's a girth... if you are of too large a girth, you will have to cinch that girth up tighter to keep the saddle from slipping...
The front of an English saddle is the pommel, the front of a western one is a horn (soooo, you either pummel anyone in your way or blow your horn???)...
According to the English, a pony is anything under 14.2, in western riding when I was a kid, anything over 14 hands was a horse. I have no idea what you call the critter between 14 and 14.2...
Western riders race barrels, English ones jump chicken coops.
in both places white horses are usually gray (beginning as a normal horse color, then fading into white as humans do), or grey if you're from the UK, or if you just like classic spellings.
