Letters

[limpingdog]

It occurred to me a while back that if you're in the UK, you post a letter in a postbox, from whence it is collected by an employee of Royal Mail. By contrast, if you're in the USA, you mail a letter in a mailbox, from whence it is collected by an employee of the US Postal Service.

If you get any of these terms the wrong way round, you totally confuse everybody.
