American English and British English
There are a few major
spelling differences between British
and American English. This is because
British English has generally kept the
spelling of words that it has taken from
other languages but American English
has changed the spelling to look more like
how the word actually sounds when you say it
For example :
"American English'' "British English''

As you can see, there are many differences between American
English and British English but don’t worry about it too much.
Most Americans and Britons know many of the differences so
you shouldn’t find yourself in too much trouble when you go on
holiday! The most important thing to remember is try to be
consistent (especially when you are writing English)- decide
which type of English you are going to use and stick with it.
Have fun with English!
