MINUS THE ACCENT, what UK words do I need to learn, how do I spell like them, etc.?

I know most spelling -- like colour & neighborhood, or realise and recognise. Any more?

There's a great list of correspondences at this web address:

In UK English, the l at the end of a verb is doubled in other verb forms, like travel - travelled - travelling.

aluminum is pronounced al-u-men-e-um... don't know why, ummm queue is a line... like waiting in line, center is centre, boot is the trunk of a car, bonnet is the hood, garage is pronounced gare-ige, f@g is a cigarette, fanny is women's parts (wink wink), car park is a parking lot. That is about all I can think of now, sorry if that isn't what you are looking for.
