GUEST,Dáithí	BS: American English usages taking over Brit (481* d)	RE: BS: American English usages taking over Brit	15 Oct 13
How about the US use of "alternate" to mean "alternative" - surely not the same thing at all. To step on alternate steps isn't the same as to step on alternative steps - which latter would mean some other ones, over there, perhaps. Or what about "momentarily". Does that mean in a moment (US) or for a moment (UK)? D
