Are Britisih English and American English different?

[Anonymous]

are they different each other?

[RebelinSteel]

Yes the Americans sort of have the older language in regards to the strength of the R and also a guy called Noah Webster who sorted out the American dictionary etc, changed a lot of words as a way of protest by differing the spelling from British English. Also for some words, the Americans take on Spanish versions of the word, whereas the British do not. You have a bunch of words that are spelt differently, pronounced differently and in some cases mean very different things. Just don’t mention Fanny in the UK and be surprised with the looks you get, especially if you say you will spank it. Over in the UK, they will say aubergine, however Americans without that link to older languages, will say eggplant. Then you have sidewalks, pavements, bonnets, hoods, estates, station wagons, whisky and whiskey, colour, colour. The list goes on.

Vocablaries are different. Do You understand?

[Astarlessnightsky]

Yes. Different enough to tell if someone is from NA or EU.

a couple of words are completely different,

some are the same but written differently,

but overall its still the roughly the same language, not too separate languages.

[OtterMan68]

Lift
Tube
Bonnet
Boot
Pissed
Skiff
biscuit
are just a few words that have different meanings in each version
