What is the difference between american english and english english?give examples?

Answer 1

american english is NOT english english
center(am)=centre(eng)

Answer 2

American English is English with so-called simplified spelling.
Some examples are:
the American mustache instead of the English moustache;
the American honor instead of the English honour;
the American color instead of the English colour.

There are other examples, but the simplified spelling never attacked some really difficult areas of English spelling such as:
tough, through, thoroughfare, . . .

Answer 3

American English has many spelling differences from English as used elsewhere (especially British English), some of which were made as part of an attempt to make more rational the spelling used in Britain at the time. Unlike many 20th century language reforms (for example, Turkey's alphabet shift, Norway's spelling reform) the American spelling changes were not driven by government, but by textbook writers and dictionary makers. Spelling tendencies in Britain from the 17th century until the present day (e.g. -ise for -ize, programme for program, kerb for curb (noun), skilful for skillful, chequered for checkered, etc.), in some cases favored by the francophile tastes of 19th century Victorian England, had little effect on American English.

The first American dictionary was written by Noah Webster in 1828. At the time the United States was a relatively new country and Webster's particular contribution was to show that the region spoke a different dialect from Britain, and so he wrote a dictionary with many spellings differing from the standard. Many of these changes were initiated unilaterally by Webster.

Webster also argued for many "simplifications" to the idiomatic spelling of the period. Many, although not all, of his simplifications fell into common usage alongside the original versions with simple spelling modifications.

Some words with simplified spellings in American English include center, color, and maneuver, which are spelled centre, colour, and manoeuvre in other forms of English.

American English also has many lexical differences from British English (BrE). American English sometimes favors words that are morphologically more complex, whereas British English uses clipped forms, such as AmE transportation and BrE transport or where the British form is a back-formation, such as AmE burglarize and BrE burgle (from burglar).

English English is the Kings English with the cultures own slang terms and things of that nature..American English is an immigrant English mixed with all nationalities that were blend together.The amercian English can be as diverse as many dialects in different countries all over the world.People immigrated here from around the globe and influence the speech and slang of English all over the US .So its all different and more standard with the Kings English.. Its funny most people think the food that their parents and grandparents prepared in their homes was native to America but too my surprise the food that was prepared in our families homes was not that native but mostly Norwegian dishes.. After all these years I am just now learning it.. but better late than never.

Answer 5

there's a distinction in pronunciation as in the slang. American slang has a bent to sound harsher. Bugger off, between the English maximum useful in certainty equates to Fu_ ok off. there is likewise a distinction in meanings od some words. You occasion of the interest pants, refers to lingerie jointly as trousers are the blue denims or gown pants worn with a jacket. something I even have discovered is that some childrens from India considered to very snobbish approximately English and could use the excuse of British English being best fairly much as a crutch or block to proceed to be diverse and to place down people. curiously a conceitedness to many, yet i've got faith that's a protection from being teased. No language is stupid, no remember if that's utilized in a best way and if somebody to whom the language isn't their generic one is prepared to learn the language of the rustic the place they are. in my view i does not evaluate somebody a pal that spoke to me the way he has spoken to you,

Answer 6

mostly minor differences in pronunciation, vocabulary and spelling. Some minor punctuation.

UK spelling will often use ou instead of just o, or ise instead of ize: colour vs color, specialise vs specialize

Most vocab differences are relatively recent things or things you would normally expect from geographic separation. Slang, in particular, differs: boot vs trunk, telly vs TV, bobby vs cop.

Pronunciation: well, there are probably dozens of accents for english. English speakers tend to understand each other.

Punctuation. I only know one example. In American english, a period or comma will never go outside of the quotation marks, even if what is in the quotation marks is not a complete sentence, or what is being quoted does not include a comma.

UK: He told the people, "Hello".
"That", he said, "is an interesting question."

US: He told the people, "Hello."
"That," he said, "is an interesting question."

A Brit and a Yank were having a conversation when the Brit mentioned a "lift".

The American said, "A lift? You mean an elevator".

The Yank argued, "I know what it should be called. The thing was invented in America!"
To which the Brit replied, "Ah yes, but the language was invented in England".
