American English and British English?
Read the passage to answer the questions:
1. What are the two reasons for the differences?
2. Do people from America and Britain have difficulty in understanding each other?
As we all know, there are many differences between American English and British English. How did these differences take place? There is no quick answer to this question.
Actually at first the language in Britain and America was the same. After America became an independent country, the language gradually began to change. For a long time the language in America stayed the same, while the language in England changed.
Over the centuries, a number of words and meanings which are still in everyday use in the United Sates have disappeared in British English. For example, Americans still use the expression "I guess"(meaning"I think"), just as the British did 300 years ago.
In 1828 Noah Webster published the first American dictionary to make American English different from British English. He changed the spelling of many words. That's why the words colour, centre and traveller are spelled color, center and traveler in American English. Except for these differences in spelling, written English is nearly the same in both British English and American English.
The differences are much greater in the spoken language. However, most of the time people from the two countries do not have difficulty in understanding each other.Independence of AmericaNoah Webster's contribution/
