The one that always cracks me up is the use of Sorted in the UK versus Figured out in American. I always laugh when I read one of our Brit writers compromising with Sorted out
I'm not sure what you mean here, Sherry, as the UK expression is 'sorted out'. 'Sorted', on its own, is slang, used most often in and around London, and means 'problem taken care of'. Think New York street language of the kind which might occasionally be mimicked by a wider population, as opposed to standard American English.
Yes, we might say that we sorted out a problem, and we sort out (or clear up ) a mess, or sort our laundry. We don't tend to say 'figured out' all that much; instead, we might say 'worked out' - for example, "I worked out what was wrong with my computer." If I were then to add, "...and I sorted it out," that would mean that I also fixed it.
