@i2hellfire Even in the United States itself different sections of the country call a sandwich on a long cylindrical roll different names. Blimps, Hoagies, Heroes, Submarines, Subs, Torpedoes or Grinders. The word 'you' refers to someone else in singular or plural form while in the south 'you' is singular and 'you all' or 'you'll' (pronounced yall) is plural. English is a language without any central control of spelling, pronunciation or word usage.

@Nunya Business People in Boston call their streetcars trolleys and the rails trolley tracks. Years ago they called the poles which connected to the overhead line a Trolley pole. The workers who drove the trolleys were Carmen and their union was called the Boston Carmen's union.

@ritwikreddy5670 State and federal fuel taxes pay for highway and road maintenance in the US. The rail companies all make money on freight service. They don't want passenger service slowing down their long distance freight service. They said they couldn't make money on long distance passenger service. Amtrak runs all US long distance passenger service only the Northeast corridor from Boston to DC makes money. The alternative is heavy interstate traffic a bus ride or an airplane trip where with lots of boarding and departure time not to mention that the airports are outside of the cities. Most people live on the East or West Coasts lots of the interior of the country is empty. Texas is as large as France. Some places have warning signs no service for sixty miles. I have personally driven for hours and not seen a car coming the other way. There are always stories about how someone driving out in the middle of no where was attacked by thieves who forced someone off the highway or how someone had to kill a thief with a gun who than never reported it and just kept driving to the next county and out of the state.
