Have or have got?
There are a few differences in grammar,too.The British say Have you got...while Americans prefer Do you have...An American might say My friend just arrived,but a British person would say My friend has just arrived.Prepositions,too,can be different：compare on the team,on the weekend(American) with in the team,at the weekend(British).
Colour or color?
The other two areas in which the two varieties differ are spelling and pronunciation.American spelling seems simpler:center,color and program instead of center,colur and programme.Many factors have influenced American pronunciation since the first settlers arrived four hundred years ago.The accent,which is most similar to British English,can be heard on the East Coat of the US.When the Irish writer George Bernard Shaw made the famous remark that the British and the Americans are two nations divided by a common language,he was obviously thinking about the differences.But are they really so important?After all,there is probably as much variation of pronunciation within the two countries as between them.A Londoner has more difficulty understanding a Scotsman from Glasgow than understanding a New Yorker.
Words,words,words
British and American English are different in many ways.The first and most obvious way is in the vocabulary.There are hundreds of different words which are not used on the other side of the Atlantic,or which are used with a different meaning.Some of these words are well know—Americans drive automobiles down freeways and fill up with gas;the British drive cars along motorways and fill up with petrol.As a tourist,you will need to use the underground in London or the subway in New York,or maybe you will prefer to get around the town bu taxi(British) or cab(American).
