Definitely not 'cart' if it's outside the US - it's not the Middle Ages and I don't take my shopping home in anything horse-drawn!
Nothing wrong with trying different variations as long as it's still obvious what it does - there is standard text for things just like standard icons so that people immediately recognise what to do.
More impact on conversion rates will come where the call-to-action is positioned and what you're saying to the potential punter at that time.

If it is for your 'naughty' site then how about 'love me up'.   :laugh:

LMAO you filthy swine! ;)

Great advice about the call to action though. I think this is worthy of far more time and energy than deciding between cart and basket.
Bloomin' good web design and copywriting from a branch of design

To be honest, I just think that "basket" sounds nicer :P

UK = basket
US = Cart

Exactly!

It's a country thing.

So I'm all about cart. :angel:

How the heck does a conversation of basket and cart go from english to the american revolution...remember american's speak english...not american...i am reminded of a local radio broadcaster who was stopped by a texan lady and she asked him for directions, which he being a local lad politely gave to her and her husband, on him going to carry on his merry way she stopped him again only to tell him that he spoke really good AMERICAN...excuse me...which came first the Englishman or the American... "The Thirteen English colonies that would become the original US states, were founded along the east coast beginning in 1607". I rest my case thankyou Wikipedia :) no offence intended Seth just like to make sure that my national heritage isn't dredged through the mud so to speak lol...we english may call our own country but woe betide any sod who's not british to try and make fun of it..okay seriouly im done now....*shuffles back muttering to himself incoherently about his scottish, irish, welsh, yorkshire, danish and mancunian roots*

lol I know the thing is its true us English are mad, probably one of the reasons you americans love us...we have that true British eccentricity thats lasted the ages and doesn't seem to be going out of fashion any time soon...I have as they say a true dry sense of humour...besides being a family trait on my fathers side i think its one of the few things that define I would say english man...but the dry wit tends to lend its roots to the scottish side of me...lol
