We speak the same language??

Allan's response to Stan's Strip reminds me of something. He mentions a
"fortnight", which those of us Americans who read English literature
know as "two weeks".  A few years ago, my husband and I were in England
during the wonderful month of June and we noticed that some vegetables
had different names: what is commonly referred to as zucchini here in
the US are called courgettes and eggplants were aubergines. Does anyone 
know of any other differences? I mean, both countries do speak the same
language, right? Actually, I think there are regional differences in the
USA too, are they scallions or green onions?
