Original Text:

"Difficulties in communication can arise even between two people who ostensibly speak the same language. Although both New Yorkers and Londoners speak English, there are enough differences between American and British English to cause communication miscues. Speakers of English on opposite sides of the Atlantic often use different words to refer to the same thing. To illustrate, Londoners put their trash in a dust bin, not a garbage can; they take a lift, not an elevator; and they live in flats, not apartments" (Ferraro, 2001).

According to Ferraro (2001), speakers of English on opposite sides of the Atlantic often use different words to refer to the same thing. To illustrate, Londoners put their trash in a dust bin, not a garbage can; they take a lift, not an elevator; and they live in flats, not apartments (p. 110).
