Wow, that's really interesting! Perhaps Pittsburgh and Lancashire were once joined? If I tour the states, then I'll have to visit Pittsburgh first, so I can be 'broken into' American English, as when I was last in Florida, I didn't have a clue what some of the words and phrases meant, and the way they were pronounced complicated things further! I just smiled and nodded when that happened.
