Many years ago I worked with a guy that had grown up in Columbia. We were sitting there eating lunch and he asked what was on my shoes? The things that were tied. I said "shoe strings" He the asked what a shoe lace was. He was very confused when I said it was the same thing. Apparently in the U.S., we use multiple names and words which is not always the norm in other places and languages.
