DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BRITISH AND AMERICAN ENGLISH

As you probably know, the English from Britain and the United States varies with regards to lexis, semantics, spelling, grammar and pronunciation. The English language was first introduced to America in 1607 in Virginia and since then has diverged in a few ways. Below are some examples of changes with respect to the lexis, pronunciation and spelling.

Changes in Lexis

A lot of the words in British English and American English vary, or take different meanings. For example, when you use “football” in American English you are referring to the sport American Football.

British English	American English
Biscuit	Cookie
Bum bag	Fanny pack
Courgette	Zucchini
Full stop	Period
Garden	Yard
Lift	Elevator
Petrol	Gas
Sweets	Candy
Football	Soccer

Changes in Pronunciation

Changes in Spelling

Most changes in spelling between the two forms of English mentioned derive respectively from two dictionaries produced in the two countries. A lot of the spellings from British English are influenced by French.
