Is there the same language in US and UK?
A different definition of "transportation class" in different cultures:
On the high-speed inter-city trains in China, the class of seating/service in general, 2nd, 1st and then, Business. Business class is superior to 1st class with lie-flat seat for sleeping and a real table, wifi to work.

First class was a reserved seat in a compartment. Second class was a seat in what roughly equates to the standard NE Corridor Amtrak coach cars. Third class was basically you might be allowed on the train and maybe you can use a seat if one is open and nobody kicks you out of it.

The languages are completely different, For example, when I get on the subway...err, "Underground"...in London I see signs all over telling me to "Mind the Gap". Why the heck should I mind it? I may not do my shopping at The Gap but it has never done anything bad to me.

Kind of like how, in Oklahoma City, a "hoedown" is a party - while in New York City it's a 911 call? ;-)

When Richard Anderson used to tell us that Delta "has your back" people in both Atlanta and New York would say "Bless his heart".
Of course, in Atlanta they meant that Anderson was not too bright. In New York, they were certain that Anderson was bragging about how Delta is performing a sexual act on its passengers made famous in Last Tango in Paris.
