Many words should be removed from this file becanuse they can be used in
British English, only the meaning is different:
"bathroom" does exist in BE but it has a slightly different meaning (may not
have a toilet)
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/bathroom
"braid" does exist in BE when not talking about hair but about silk or cotton
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/braid
"bureau" does exist in BE when talking about a desk with drawers
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/bureau
"busy" does exist in BE, the exception is a "busy phone line"
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/busy

"stocks" can have various meanings, many of them used in BE

"yard" is used in BE, it just doesn't describe a garden

There may be even more but I'm not a native speaker so I only suggested clear
cases.
