Book on British/American English

I tried a search and came up empty handed. I've read past posts about a book called Brit Speak/Amera Speak or something of the sort.....the subtle differences/meanings between the 2. Could someone give me the exact title and/or author's name? Thank you so much!

Hi Lynn: <BR> <BR>Try this site: <BR> <BR>http://www.effingpot.com/ <BR> <BR>It may not be what you're looking for, but it's a very funny English/American dictionary written by a Brit who lived in Texas for two years. <BR> <BR>

Lynn, <BR>The British Travel Bookshop, 551 Fifth Ave, 7th floor, NY, NY 10176 lists British-American Language Dictionary, "a comprehensive look at language differences which can be easily misinterpreted" and English-American:American-English "a handy glossary of everyday words both informative for the visitor and evocative for the expatriate".
