    царапина - scratch
    трещина - crack

    (I think.)
    Словом можно обидеть. Словарём - убить.

    Crocodile's answers seem 100% correct to me, and I don't think that there's any difference between US and UK English in this context.

    Also, I'm reminded of the old "Hungarian-English Phrasebook" sketch from Monty Python, in which a венгрец входит в табачный магазин чтобы купить сигареты, и говорит по-английски с акцентом, "Ай вилл нот бай зис рекорд, ит из скрэчт." ("I will not buy this record, it is scratched" -- я не буду покупать эту пластинку, на ней царапины.)

    ЗЫ: My nipples explode with delight!
    Говорит Бегемот: "Dear citizens of MR -- please correct my Russian mistakes!"
