A British porter encountered an American tourist in a hotel who was impatiently poking at the elevator button.

"Sir, the elevator will be here soon"

"Lift? lift?" the American replied, "Oh, you mean elevator" (elevator is the British word for elevator) It’s called lift in English and elevator in American English)

“No, sir, we call it lift here”

“Well, since the elevator was invented in the United States, it should It’s called elevator”

“Yes, sir, but English was invented here, it should be called lift”
