Grammar
turn around/ turn round
What's the difference between "turn around" and "turn round"?
If someone drives, can I say "turn around" because I want to go back to that restaurant.
Is it right?

I, too, have the impression that 'around' is American and 'round' is British, with no difference in meaning.
