My brother recently came from Pakistan and he cracks me up every time he uses below and above in place of under and over. For ex. he would drive below the bridge and jump above a hurdle. I would love to get my hands on a copy of this book, it will be truly entertaining, and I know my nieces and nephews will enjoy it, having come from Pakistan, but adopted very well to American English.

I have read parts of this book! Quite nice. One of my favorite words is 'pressurized'. I used this word when I came back to US. I was with a client talking about something I was worried about and said "Gosh I'm pressurized." I kept talking, and she stopped me asking me what that word meant! Of course, it meant stressed out, I said. But I guess it wasn't so obvious! I got a lot of weird looks using that word in US when I returned. Great! I have read parts of this book! Quite nice.
