Tidal terms: are they the same in US and UK?

[NorthRising]

As an innocent 10yr old schoolboy, relocated by the MOD to Virginia, I made this error in 6th grade.
Parents to school, Ambassador informed, and my parents in a toe curlingly emabarrassment of explaining to me, well, that the teacher didn't quite understand that I'd made a spelling mistake, ......!
30 years later, being in one of the finest bars of Mobile, Alabama (imagine), I did repeat the mistake to great personal advantage, but with a fairly posh accent to avoid suspicion, as well as being shot.

The US buoyage systems are completely different to the UK & Europe as they are in zone 'B' and Europe are zone 'A' which you sure better know when entering a USA harbour as they are almost all opposite the European buoyage system
