Yep. “Click on the images containing a crosswalk.” I’m British. That’s not a word we use.

"find the zebra" might be more confusing :)

I don't see what's so hard about it. Captcha descriptions are also localized but I understand why they wouldn't do US<>UK.

What's hard is that 90% of UK residents won't understand what they're being asked to do.

Yes because "crosswalk" is an opaque word that doesn't have an obvious meaning (and not present in commonly consumed media from the US).

While there is some potential for confusion, I don't think that stands for that specific word.

It's where two footpaths cross each other? :)
