Okay, bit of an anoraky thread, but I found out the other day that there are differences in terminology for notation on both sides of the pond. I'd always happily assumed that notes are called quavers, crotchets, minims and semibreves and bars are called bars, and that this is a worldwide thing. It transpires that in the US they're called eighth notes, quarter notes, half notes and whole notes and bars are called measures! Are there any other differences in musical terminology like this in the US (or any other country for that matter?) If so, how did this come about?

Incidentally, in case this gets misconstrued as an American-bashing thread - it isn't. I'm just interested to know!
