Well depending on whom you ask one of us has an accent. But in all seriousness the major differences in the English spoken in Britain and the one spoken in America is, that we have different pronunciation as well as different spelling for most words. Here are some differences to look out for when distinguishing among the two.
There are different uses when it comes to tenses. For example a British English speaker would say, “ I’ve already eatenâ€; while an American English speaker would say “I already ateâ€. Spellings of words often differ because of pronunciation.So British English Speaker will spell “mum†with a ‘U’ ; while an American English speaker will spell the same word as “momâ€.
Also the same words can have different meanings. For BeA speakers ‘football’ is known as soccer and in AmE ‘ football’ means American football. And of course terminology or lingo is different within any culture, group, or community.
There are a few differences between English spoken in Britain and English spoken in America. One of the biggest differences is the accent. Just like in America, people living in different parts of Britain have different accents. There are a lot more variations of a British accent than there are American accents.In a one hundred mile radius in Britain, you can have a person who drops his “h's�
