This word - revise - does NOT mean the same in British English as it does in American English, I've come to learn!
I kept seeing it used in language learner YouTubes, posts, and discussions. It's used it to mean the act of revisiting previously studied material, to study again.
İn American usage, the word for that process is Review. İn British English, the word for this is apparently Revise. İt's super jarring to hear American accents say Revise when they mean Review 🤪🙃😆🤷♀️.
I'm curious what word other English dialects use for this 'studying again' process? Aussies Kiwis, Canucks, Desis, Saffos, Caribeňos?
And does anyone else get that jarring feeling when confronted with the word 'revise' where an American world use 'review'?
