In an international context, English is used as a lingua franca, i.e. the language of communication. Like German, French, and Dutch, English also has various standard variants that are spoken and written in different countries. The differences between the individual language variants cause hardly any problems in everyday life. Whether, for example, you say bill or note to a banknote or garbage or rubbish to refuse, it doesn’t affect the understanding in most of situations. It is crucial, however, to keep the language differences in mind when it comes to legal terminology in law texts.
