      Although we're closer to Britain mostly (I.E. Americans are the ones with the language screwed up :P)


      Cold, crunchy things that come in a sealed bag-
      America: Chips
      Australia: Chips (but Crisps is acceptable)
      Britain: Crisps

      The "hot" kind you get at McDonald's-
      America: [French] Fries
      Australia: [Hot] Chips (Fries is sometimes used)
      Britain: Chips

      So as you can see, either an American or a Brit in Australia will be fully understood in this regard.
