Which the difference between the English and American is English?

Answer 1

British English is, of course, the original form of English. American English is just an evolved form or adaptation of British English.

Think of it this way: British came over from England and settled/colonized America. Soon, people from all over Europe began to immigrate into America. With so many different ethnicities and backgrounds speaking one national language (English), little nuances and phrases influenced by specific ethnicities and languages arose and spread sometimes only by local areas, sometimes nationally. This is how we acquired words different from British English (hamburger, apartment, pretzel, ranch, patio, buckaroo, cockroach & many others) and how we formed various accents (as a compilation and inter-mixing of international accents).

Answer 2

the pronounciation is different, the brits have an arrogantly sounding accent. A few words are different: lift is the word in england for elevator. And of course the jargon and profanity is totally different. An american and a brit couldnt understand what the other is saying when they swear at each other. But I suppose they can guess whats being said

Answer 3

Lots of different words and phrases are used in "english" english and "american" english.

For example, in a courtroom, when the judge enters, in the American courtroom the bailiff says "All Rise."
In the English courtroom, the bailiff says "Be upstanding in Court".

An american-english dictionary is Webster's, or Random House.
A purely english-english dictionary is Chambers Dictionary.

Answer 4

Well, for a start, you're not writing in either one.
American English simplified the spelling of many words.
Both have many different & unique expressions.

Answer 5

Um, English, like the kind from the U.K. and the kind from the U.S. have different ways of pronouncing certain words and have different slang terms; the U.K. spells things a bit differently too but other than that, they are one and the same.

Answer 6

Slang's we have each developed. I believe a "bobby" in England is a police officer.
But we have the same problem in the US. I went to R.I. for collage and would ask for a milk shake and they took milk and shook it. No ice cream etc. I found out there milk shakes are called Cabinets and in Mass they are Frappes.
So it is not just country to country.
