I can't even order water in the US and it varies between states. "Can I get a waaaada!" "wotaa" "war tar"
Also try reading out your CC number over the phone in the US without putting on your best fake American accent and see how far you get. :)

I was in a Subway a couple of months ago and someone ordered an iced coffee - he was handed a hot coffee with an ice cube in it. It still makes me laugh.

I was a teenager in Florida in 1980 with my parents, younger brother & sister and grandmother.
We were in a ribshack type restaurant and my grandma who was quite well spoken asked for 'a nice cup of tea'.
'An iced tea?' was the response.
Fair enough misunderstanding from the waitress but to my teenage self and brother and sister it was excruciatingly embarrassing.

I was in a Subway on the side of road in some part of the USA and asked for a Oregano and Parmesan bread, took my aunt who's lived in Canada for over almost 30 years stepping in and pronouncing Oregano the American way to get my damn sandwhich.
