About the Book

For vacationers and business people crossing the Atlantic for the first time, the differences between the two forms of English quickly become apparent - and those differences turn out to be far greater than you imagined before you stepped onto the aircraft. When they ask their British hosts to use the bathroom, American visitors to the UK may be surprised to be directed to a room with a bath - but not necessarily a toilet. British visitors to Florida may be horrified when their resort check-in agent offers them a complimentary fanny pack. In this lighthearted guide to the common language that divides us, you will find out why. (The AMGLISH Dictionary is edited and abridged from the book, AMGLISH: Two Nations Divided by a Common Language, by Mike Powell).
About the Author: Mike Powell is a former British newspaper and radio journalist who hosted top-rated morning shows on several UK music radio stations before transitioning to station management. After being News Editor on two radio stations, he became Program Director of County Sound Radio (Guildford, Surrey UK) from 1984 to 1986 and then CEO from 1986 to 1991 - growing the group to eight radio stations. His innovations at County Sound included introducing the UK's first all-oldies radio station. He also designed the programming for award-winning station, Fox FM (Oxford) - a joint venture with Capital Radio, London. After taking County Sound to a full UK stock market listing, he departed to form radio investment, research and management company, Infinity Radio, which set up Pirate FM (Cornwall) with Mike as CEO. Infinity then merged with UKRD Group where Mike became CEO - eventually building the group to well over 20 radio stations and associated companies. While running UKRD, Mike Powell played a key role in launching Manchester's Kiss 102 and served as launch CEO of Berkshire's Star FM. In 1995, he launched the new County Sound Radio Network consisting of County Sound Radio, 96.4 The Eagle and Delta Radio. In 2001 Mike Powell became Chairman of Infinity Media which then separated from UKRD to concentrate on digital platform technologies. In October 2002 he joined RCS - the world's largest broadcast software company - as Vice President of its International Division. In 2014 he became Senior Vice President International for RCS and Chief Compliance Officer for its Media Monitors subsidiary. Academically, Mike Powell was appointed by the University of Surrey to the Panel which validated and monitored a new media degree course at Farnborough College, where he subsequently became a visiting lecturer. He was also a visiting lecturer in Media at Lancashire Polytechnic (now the University of Central Lancashire). In 2014 he was appointed to the International Advisory Panel for the new Ocean University in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, which was awarded Licensure by the UAE Ministry of Higher Education & Science in January 2015. As well as being on the International Advisory Panel for the university, he will also be a visiting lecturer for the Media Practice college/faculty. Ocean University has been developed from the former Fujairah Media Academy.
