It's snow PLOUGH.

Not snow PLOW.

As we're British, can we please stick to the correct spelling?

Thank you for your co-operation.

i would have said it was "plough", on this side of the pond, and "plow" for yanks and can-a-di-ans

Sorry Oxford dictionary uses both snowplow and snowplough. No distinction between British and North American. If you're going to be pedantic please be correct.

It does differentiate between plough and plow.

Yup. It also has snowplough. (oooh the irony, that sweet, delicious irony - tastes a bit rusty doesn't it?)

Yes and when the freeze is over and we find dead bodies strewn all over the countryside, its not autopsy, its POST MORTEM.

PLOW is American, and that's all there is to it. 😛

Everyone knows what you mean when you say it, so why worry?

No-one is going to mistake you for an American with those wonky brown teeth.

Autopsy means 'see with for oneself'
