A good example is trunk. You could be talking about the trunk of a car or a luggage type of trunk. If it's luggage, changing trunk to boot doesn't work.

I agree with ducky that it's best to read in whatever English it's in.
Isn't that called a 'steamer' ?

My first car had a Boot, Windscreen, demister... It was a AH Sprite (Left hand drive version), so I got used to 'other' spellings at an early age.

And there are many other uses of 'trunk' that should not be touched.
