What word should we use?

[emmem]

I don’t know.

AFAIK most of the time I use the word bill (since it’s Eurobilltracker).
Sometimes the word note (should an extra domain name euronotetracker.com be registered ).
And if I’m in really in the mood I use the word banknote.

But I was just wondering : What’s the best word?

Note is European English and bill American English. The EBT webmaster has spent far too much time on the wrong side of the pond

[smh]

My girlfriend always complains that i use to many American words, but in this case i definately go for the English one.

I agree that bill is the American term. I'm not sure what the Brits use: note or banknote. Note seems to me more general than banknote.

[smh]

Thts why i voted for banknote.

note has lots of meanings. Banknote leaves little room for confusion

I personnaly have learned "notes" and "coins", at school... I use "bill" when I go to America. There, you can learn english again, nobody knows the words "lift", "flat", "lorry", "note"... "plum pudding"

[smh]

I know you call it a note, but banknote is more specific. A note can also be something i wrote on a little paper.

<<<plum pudding>>> Is that English? thought it was Dutch

Before i met my girlfrien i didn't even know that 'lift' was an English word.
(We use that same word in Dutch). I always used elevator. But she has a bad influence on me, i'm starting to speak British more and more

[smh]

<<<she's british?>>>

No

<<<you speak english at home?>>>

No

Okay, guess thats a bit of a short answer. At home i speak Dutch, to my girlfriend English.

Where she's from? Think i left some clues on this forum already

Good, that will take you busy for a while. I can't keep up with the pace you are posting. I'll answer the rest of the posts tomorrow.

Hi, why bother?
As far as I'm concerned, you may vary in using "notes"or "bills".
I think everyone understands what you mean when you use either one of them.

[EuroBillTracker]

Sure...
elevator
condo/appartement
truck
bill
...

err...no we don't have that one thank god !

Actually I switched the site from bill to note because someone gave a link to the US Treasury departement. The word they used there was Note !
And someone has registered euronotetracker.com (a guy from a similar site in the UK)

Anyway, I think I need to be creative because google sees note everywhere when some people are using bill for their search...
