    Even worse: dialects of English that use draught don’t use it for every sense of the word. A breeze getting into a room is a draught, but your first effort at writing something is still a draft

        Draught beer (at least in the UK). The board game chequers/checkers uses draughts too. I think the military calling people up would be a draft, but it would more commonly be referred to as conscription
