I have pretend to be "English" at work now, so I need to learn some words that people from the UK spell differently than people from the US... words like "centre" vs "center. Any common words that you write differently?
Color = Colour Soccer = Football Alot of its around pronunciation more than anything. If in doubt just set up english dictionary on word and run a spell check in there. I know there are others, just cant think of them at the moment.
The British Empire will rise once again and dominate the world. God Bless The Queen and all Those Who Speak Properly English.
check = cheque woman = bird, bit of fluff, slut, bitch, whore, her indoors, etc. etc. you be get the point anything ending in 'ize' is ending in 'ise', eg. theorize is being theorise. How the fuck am I being knowing this?
Favourite Favour Neighbour Glamour Just be inserting a letter ‘U’ in every word and you are being a pie & pea eating, clog wearing brit before you are know it.

Thanks. I'm taking a job from the UK, but stopping it from going to India. Seriously, I work for a company that is an essentially an outsourcer and our biggest client is a company that outsources it's own to India.
And yes, I do work for a call center, but I don't take calls. I answer emails all day. Actually, we aren't just merely a call center, we do a ton of back office shit. We basically run the website that we support. We actually have our hands in a bunch of other different companies too.
That's sounds a lot cooler than what I had to do. People would call up after watching an infomertial to order something (Dean Martin Variety Show, Winsor Pilates, blah fucking blah). It would have been cool if you could just take their order, but you had to try and cell them twice as much as what they were ordering. Oh, and you had to read them unless one of two conditions occured; the caller was about to hang up or they said I only want what I saw on tv, twice. People would ask my advice, what do you reccomend. I got in trouble for saying I recceomend hanging up! You don't need this shit.
It's a fucking cake job with kick ass benefits and decent pay. I get to listen to music and bullshit with the people around me. I still take calls for a smaller website, but I average about 8 or 9 a week and every now and then I have to take regular calls and that sucks because you really have to work. I remember when I first started, I had to take strictly calls and my first day on the phones after six weeks of training, I decided to get stoned. It was insane.
