Usage
In British English the adverbs and prepositions round and around are interchangeable in many contexts. There is, however, a general preference for round to be used for definite, specific movement (she turned round), while around tends to be used in contexts which are less definite (she wandered around for ages; a rumour circulating around the cocktail bars). In US English, however, the normal form in most contexts is around; round is only standard in certain fixed expressions, as in all year round and they went round and round in circles.
