Phillip - I did an analysis by IP address. Around 66% of responses came from US locations (UK and Canada were 9% and 6% approximately). 'Placket' is a word that is used in both American and British English. I am not sure about 'French front'. I started by asking some American friends if they knew what it meant, but they were as clueless as me (I was born and raised in the US but have been living in the UK for 35 years). That was the motivation for the survey (which was done on the CHI-WEB list as well as IxDA).
In spite of other replies, I am not convinced that using unfamiliar words in inconsistent ways is helpful to user experience (pictures or no).
