It's a game if you didn't know.
Basically the next person posts a difference between two languages.
We'll probably end up doing English/American since it's the most common.
Here's two examples:
English: Trousers
American: Pants
English: Full stop
American: Period
So yeah, off you go.

Wow, just no. I don't think you should be posting these if you have no idea what you're talking about. The french word for car is either 'voiture' if you're in France or 'auto' if you're in Quebec. Of course, both are used in both locations, however those are the most common you'll find. The french word for 'bus' is 'autobus'. There is no french word 'bus'.
To stay on topic,
France: un OP (Ordinateur Personnel)
Quebec: un PC (Personal Computer)
English: Personal Computer (PC)
