<p>I know very well what a hash brown is i have visited more states of the USA than most Americans and several times too. However this is an American thing and many non Americans on this forum may not know and we should all try to bear this in mind. </p><p>I actually had a young person in US laugh at me, because i didn't know what a dime was. And he was too stupid to understand, when i asked him what a Zac was. For those who do not know it was a sixpence, (say about 5 cents) before we went metric with our money as well. So local idioms are ok but consider others before you use them. </p><p>Don't forget the purpose of writing anything, is to communicate and if others do not understand a word you use, you have failed.</p><p>Ian </p>
