english language one

CAN: zipper ENG: zip (incidentally it's a canadian invention!)
CAN: snap ENG: popper

Go figure! (or "work that one out" in ENG)

as you may gather, the household is considering diaper options right now.

I have a feeling this will be the first of many ponderings on the bizarre intricacies of the english language - specifically the difference between english english and canadian english. mom and dad continue to use these strange phrases and words that just don't make sense to us canadians, eh?
