Here in the UK most new screws are Pozidriv, but many people confuse them with Philips as they are very similar. Mixing up Pozidriv/Philips results in the driver riding out and damaging the head. It should be required teaching in schools the difference between the two!

Pozidriv screws have a small engraved cross at 45 deg to the main recess. The drivers have a small matching flute in the grooves.
