On another UK v. US front, I recently was fascinated to read an account by an American who just got her British driver's license. Apparently, driving on the wrong* side of the road was the least of it; she had to unlearn all her American habits. For example, when we turn the steering wheel, we cross hand over hand, and then let the wheel slide back on its own to straighten out. Verboten in Britain, apparently. Who knew?
