    Correct. In this country it is not a vehicle licence - it is vehicle registration, and the plate is a registration plate not a licence plate . And the terminology "number plate" became embedded in Australian English when all registration identifications were a simple number.

    Don't get me started on "bathroom". (I once had a woman come up to me at work and ask if we had a public bathroom. I told her "No". So she wandered off to look for one. Had she asked for the toilets...)

    Now railway stations are called train stations.

    Why do newspapers and advertisers give dates in the US format, MM/DD/YY?

    Some might think sacrilege, but it was done when the car was just another old sports car of little value.

    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
