Straight vs. neat

The section on straight vs. neat needs to be cleaned up. Right now it says basically that in the US the two terms are commonly used interchangeably, but are technically different, while in the UK they are in fact interchangeable, but are sometimes recognized as different. This is incoherent (and uncited). How do we know that the common usage in the US is incorrect, while the same common usage in the UK is correct? Sources are needed to establish what the actual usage and technically correct usages are on each side of the Atlantic. As it stands, I have little confidence that the distinction being made is justified.--Srleffler (talk) 04:48, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
