I think Country Location makes a big difference, I also feel our cousins from across the pond are the one's who always seem to cut out certain words from the Queens English, and forshorten words to describe things in their own acceptable manner, but Pour Moi, it is Aeroplane, Aerodrome and Helicopter, I feel Chopper describes something big ,long and heavy, something that I dont have.......... A woodsmans Axe!!!
Happy new year to one and all,
