The Differences Between American English
and British English
American English has much in common with British English, but there are some differences between them in many ways.
Firstly, the most obvious difference lies in vocabulary. The two varieties use different words to
express the same meaning. For example, Americans
go to college, while the British go to university.
Secondly, a few differences also exist in grammar.
Generally speaking, the grammar of American
English is simpler than that of British English.
Instead of using fitted, Americans often use fit.
Besides the two differences, American English differs
from British English in spelling and pronunciation.
Compared with British English, American English
seems simpler in spelling. Americans use favor instead
of favour. Lastly, the difference in pronunciation falls
on vowel. For example, Americans pronounce
fast , while the British prefer .
Despite the differences, people in the two countries haven’t much difficulty in understanding each other.
