It gets worse :-) What the Americans call a full note, the English call a semi-breve (literally, a "half-note") :-)


Ah, but you may be wrong there: breve means short-timed, thus half-of- short, maybe even doubly-short. It is somehow funny that there never was a unit-note, as we would now call the whole note ("1")

So an American quarter-note is actually an eighth-note.  :-)
