public school; language attitudes

[Nancy Elliott]

I have two queries for the UK su(b)scribers from my students:



1. If U.S. 'private school' is  U.K. 'public school,' then what do you call
a public school in the U.K.?

2. What do British English speakers think when they hear someone use
American syntax in "Do you have any....?" and "I don't have any..."?
