Re: [IN PROGRESS] US to UK dictionary

highway - motorway
traveling - travelling
draft (in sense of slight breeze) - draught
omelet - omelette (sorry if the US spelling failed there >.<)
sneaker - trainer
zucchini - courgette (both spellings are probably wrong Dx)
number two pencil - HB pencil
mom(my) - mum(my)

Also, I don't know about most of my fellow Brits, but I wouldn't say cul-de-sac... I'd just say "dead-end"... But then again, there is a lot of US influence in the part of the UK where I live  tongue

EDIT: My dog just attacked a load of envelopes that came through the door (I'm dog-sitting today), and I had to wrestle them off him. Anyway, he's calm now, but that little escapade made me think of two more:

mail - post
Postal Service - Royal Mail
