It’s my first time renting a home in Orlando, what are the language differences?

Orlando Villa

If your renting a home in Orlando and it’s your first visit to the area from the UK, then you should make yourself familiar with the differences in certain word meanings between the UK and the USA. When booking your vacation rental home, you may want to ask the agent if certain facilities are available for example…

Do you need a Pram? In the US, a Pram is called a Stroller and a Nappy is a Diaper. A Cot is called a Crib and and a fold up bed is called a Cot!

Can I make Reverse Charge calls? (Collect Call). Which junction is the rental resort located off (Intersection). Remember that Give Way is signed as Yield. And you fill up at the Gas station
Money also has its own currency! A Quarter is 25 cents, a Dime is 10 cents and a Nickel is 5 cents.
If you decide to take a night off from cooking in your well equipped kitchen at your vacation rental home, then you need to be aware of some ordering differences in the US, for example, don’t be surprised if your order a plate of chips that a bag of crisps turns up! Prawns are called Shrimps and Broiled means Grilled. And a soda is any fizzy drink.
