It's so interesting, as an australian, seeing which of each of those
pairs looks normal to me. Eg, Garden (not yard), Gas or Natural Gas
both seem ok to me, Pickle (US) not Gherkin, Give Way not Yield, Gear
Stick (not Gear Lever or Gear Shift!), Glove Box not compartment,
Goose Bumps (US) not Goose Pimples, Mouth Guard (US) not Gum Shield,
GP not Family Doctor, Grease-Proof Paper not Waxed Paper...

Pretty random really.

Steve
