Summary: 



Someone (Norman Diamond) suggested I post the name of the British/American
Dictionary that I have.  I don't have it with me, but it is published by
Passport books and the author's name is Moss.  It has some interesting
things, like "momentarily", which in the US means "in a short period of
time", whereas in England it means "for a short period of time", although
the English meaning is sometimes used here, e.g. "Hold the button down
momentarily".  Interesting book.
