American English, but not British. Dinner here is a starter, main course and dessert. "Entrée" messes with my head as well, since it very much sounds like a starter.

Yep. Check out the online menus in English restaurants and pubs. 'Mains' is the typical term used.

And the water supply. And the central building on farms (in Scotland, at least). It's a silly country.
