Differences between British English and American English

In pronunciation, for example, when [r] appears after a vowel, British people generally don't pronounce it, but American English people can pronounce it clearly. People in Boston, such as the British, don't pronounce [r], but pronounce "park the car" as "paak the caa". Other differences are American [o] and British [a] (such as hot). The English pronunciation of advertisements, clerks, laboratories and timetables is also different from that of the United States. In addition, Americans often connect pronunciation, so, "Whaddaya say?" Not every word is pronounced "What did you say?" In spoken language and lyrics, go to, Wanna, smiling or shining often fluctuate. However, there are regional differences in American pronunciation. For example, the initial letter I of "there" is pronounced as "I" in some areas and "ai" in others.

Second, Spelling.

Averil Coxhead of Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand made a statistical summary of academic vocabulary, which was spelled in English. The spelling differences between British English and American English are as follows:

British English ends with -re and American English ends with -er.
