English is used in many countries and there are many differences in this language. We understand that there exist differences between British and American English in terms of pronunciation, spelling, vocabulary and usage.
Can you think of some examples to show the differences between the two versions?
The differences between B-English and A-English can be seen not only on the accent but also on the slangs or some meanings due to the different culture.
I feel that there is a big difference between English pronunciation and American pronunciation. American sounds are more tactful, while English sounds are more rigid. It may have something to do with their character.
American English has a strong sense of ups and downs when speaking, and emphasizes the ups and downs.However, British English sounds relatively straight and changes relatively little.
From my perspective, the differences between American English and British English can be traced back from the day when native English speakers emigrated from Europe to America due to some religious reasons. It determines that Amecican Engilsh tends to be more casual, since the concept of freedom has been in their blood, which drove them to travel far from their home land.
In word spelling, American English usually omits the"u" in the British English letter combination"our"; American English often uses"z" instead of "s" in British English;some words ending in"re" in British English end in"er" in American English and so on. In terms of speed, American English can say about 150 words a minute, while British English can say nearly 200 words. In pronunciation, American English has curly tongue sounds, which is typical of R pronunciation, while British English does not.
British English pays more attention to grammar, American English is not strict with grammar requirements, American English is more casual, and American English and British English are very different in pronunciation
Men and teachers in British universities are called respectively "university men"and "staff"，But in American universities they're called "college boys"and "faculty".
