British Vs American English Differences

Look at the cooky differences between British and American English! British was brought to American soil with the 17th-century settlers. From then on, the rustics on the other side of the pond have done their best to distort the language, losing many a vital “u” as they went. The spread of English was also facilitated by the little-known British Empire. Through trade and conquest the language spread around the world.
