<VV> British English vs American English, was: terminology

[airvair at earthlink.net]

Alan,

Across the pond here in the states (colonies, to you, mate) a saloon is a
drinking hall, what you call a pub (or would that be a tavern?) That said,
maybe you can drink and drive, but we discourage the practice.

And since the Corvair is American, WE get to claim terminology naming
rights. ;o)
