[ot] ha! there's another brit word that you don't realise is one until you've been here a while. They always say "sick" here. When we first moved to Michigan, I just thought that it must be a particularly bad year for gastric flu because everyone was sick (to a brit, "sick" usually implies barfing, or in hospital on deathbed. Poorly means fever/infection etc.) oh yeah, Brits wouldn't say fever either, unless the temperature required medical attention (104+). For anything below that, you'd just say they "had a temperature"
