I really dislike making assumptions...
I am very comfortable with American English, but when I was reading a very legal and technical European English paper, I had to admit that I was confused with their terminology and I was put in a very uncomfortable position of making assumptions of what the documents were alluding to. My responses to the paper in European English was of course in American English, which confused my European counterparts even more so because they found the context to be inconsistent with theirs. In the end, I had to be humble and ask for a thorough explanation, and I'm glad I did! I can't cite any specific examples, but some words have very different meanings in Europe than it does in America.

I was so surprised...
I was so surprised with that metal spoon. Nobody at the table complained about it (there were seven of us). But I was so curious as to why they served the caviar course with a metal spoon that I asked the Captain why they used it and if anyone else had me...
It's a big deciding factor for me too!
Come to think of it, the small independents might have an advantage. Everyone knows all the clients. It's all a big family.
This give me confidence that my watch will be...
Repaired correctly and in a timely fashion.
I'm willing to bet it will be.
Give precise instructions. In bullet point form. Double check that there are no double entendres. And ask them to go over your instructions because there was a different meaning in one of my words from American English to European English which created so...

Will have to have multiple correspondences to be certain all parties...
