BrE vs AmE - A bit / a little

Kecil, sedikit, agak.
 
Pada BrE umum menggunakan A bit yang artinya slightly = sedikit, agak.
- These shoes a bit tight.
- I’ll be a bit later home tomorrow.
- Can you turn the volume up a bit?

A little lebih umum dipakai pada AmE atau A little bit tapi ini informal. Kita juga bisa gunakan ini pada BrE.
- These shoes are a little bit too tight.
- I’ll be a little later home tomorrow.
- Can you turn the volume up a little bit?
